Automated Systems Revision Standard Grade ComputingIndustrial and Commercial Applications
Why Do We Need Automated Systems? • They carry out tasks faster than workers • They remove workers from potentially dangerous situations • They carry out repetitive tasks with fewer mistakes than workers
Why invest in Automated Systems? • Make businesses run efficiently • In the long term, they will save money • Very high precision and produce high-quality products much faster than any manual system • Increased Productivity • Reduction in number of people needed • Lower wage bills • Can operate in environments that would be very dangerous to humans
Efficiency and Accuracy • Efficiency • Automated systems are more efficient than workers because • They carry out tasks faster • They carry out tasks with fewer mistakes • Accuracy • Automated systems use sensors to achieve far greater degrees of accuracy than workers could
Adaptability • Automated systems are very adaptable because they can be reprogrammed • This can be done by • Learn by following examples • Robot is set to learning mode • Engineer/technician then controls the robot manually to carry out the new task • These movements are stored by the robot as a new program • Reprogrammed • Computer programmer will write a program for carrying out the new task • The final task is then transferred to the robot’s ROM chip, where it replaces the original set of instructions
