TYPES OF INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION (PDF)

Here is a PDF version for "Types Of Industrial Automation" Industrial automation is currently employed across a myriad of industries with automated systems doing everything from performing manufacturing tasks to operating an ATM. The level of complexity and human interaction with an automated system varies by application. While there are countless applications of industrial automation solutions, nearly all fall into 1 of 3 automation categories: fixed, programmable, and flexible. Here's is a little more about each of these types of industrial automation. <br>

  1. TYPES OF INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION 02 01 03 04 Just Engineering

  2. Just Engineering WHAT IS INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION As automation deals with the process of creating technologies to speed up the delivery of goods/services with minimum human touch, Industrial Automation handles control systems and machines to manufacture faster with the help of robots that can replace a human being.

  3. Just Engineering WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION 01 FIXED INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION Its a fixed or rigid type of automation. 02 Programmable Industrial Automation Has a changeable control program. 03 Flexible Industrial Automation Flexibility for product changeovers.

  4. Just Engineering FIXED AUTOMATION Rigid Processes The sequence of processing operations is fixed by the equipment configuration. Repetitive Task This form of automation is often used to execute repetitive tasks with dedicated equipment in order to improve production efficiency and throughput rates. Unable To Modify Once a fixed automation solution is setup, it is challenging to modify the process or reconfigure the equipment. Example: Examples of fixed automation are assembly lines in the automotive industry.

  5. Just Engineering PROGRAMMABLE AUTOMATION 01 This type of automation is best for batches of products where the instructions for the automated system change over time depending on which product is being manufactured. 02 The control program can be reprogrammed for each batch with the given specifications and the necessary processing tasks and sequencing. Time Saving Reprogrammable 03 This is often used for medium volumes but can also be used for low or high volumes when economics are justified. Industrial robots are one of the example. Flexibility Reconfiguration

  6. Just Engineering FLEXIBLE AUTOMATION 01 02 02 02 Soft Automation Conveyance Changeovers are conveyed via control system & occur quickly and automatically. Time Saving Eliminates the time required to reconfigure the equipment in between batches. Applications Highly effective for multiple product changeovers CNC machines are an example of flexible automation.

  7. Just Engineering HOW AUTOMATION IS CHANGING? Innovations create fresh surges of growth, especially in Industrial Automation change is the only constant. ➔ When Relay logic needed a replacement in industrial processes in the 1960s, programmable logic controllers were invented by Dick Morley. ➔ The reason why PLCs became popular is that they generated growth in applications, and they were more reliable than relays, much easier to program and growth was rapid especially in automobiles. ➔

  8. Just Engineering ROBOT REVOLUTION Industrial Robots are automated, reprogrammable, multipurpose industrial assets that are used as an alternative to human labor in order to perform deadly and repetitive tasks without human intervention. This trend is the future of automation. While we continue to establish new technologies like IIoT, robots will be given the ability to implement such technologies so that they start learning things on their own. ➔ ➔

  9. Just Engineering To Conclude: With growing use of smartphones and smart pcs, the manufacturing sector needed an upgrade too, this resulted in birth of a new version in the sector - Industry 4.0. Manufacturing has now done through Industrial Internet of things.
