Automation Modification

Automation is use of Control System architecture and information technology to reduce human work and errors in the production process with consistency and quality output of product. In industrialization automation greatly decreases the need for human sensory and mental requirements playing an increasingly important role in the world economy and in daily experience.

Advantages of automation

• Reduce hard physical or monotonous work hence leads to consistency in production and quality of product with minimal errors.
• Task to perform beyond human capabilities like lifting heavy loads, crushing, cutting etc.
• Safe working environment due to safety precautions where tasks to be done in dangerous environments (i.e. fire, nuclear facilities, hazardous gaseous, etc)
• Improved quality and mass production hence value for product in market.
• Utilization of resources at fullest with less wastage.

APPLICATION:

Process and Manufacturing Automation:
Application of automation in manufacturing leads to produce things with higher consistency and quality, reduce the lead times, simplify production, reduce handling, and improve work flow. It also boosts the morale of workers when a good implementation of the automation is made.

Machine Automation:
Adoption of automation in machine operation results in higher production quantity in substantially lesser time. Ease of operation and reduction in human errors.

Home Automation (BMS)
Home automation designates an emerging practice of increased automation of household appliances and features in residential dwellings. Temperature control , Humidity control , Access control are major features of Building management System (BMS).

Security:
Automated video surveillance monitors people and vehicle in real time within a busy environment. The purpose of a surveillance system is to monitor, record, store data related activities in a given area also generating warnings or notify designated authority in case of occurrence of particular events.

Equipments
There are various instruments and equipment used in automation here we shall look at a few of them.

Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC)
These are computer/ processors designed for carrying out specific task which are frequently used with conditions of inputs and events with turning on outputs, along with easy-to-use Support Software, flexibly to handle applications from small-scale equipment to entire production lines.

Energy Management refers to systems where operators are able to monitor,control and optimize the performance of electricity transmission which can be used to collect energy data from various sources in order to reduce energy cost and consumptions for buildings and communities by reporting, monitoring and engagement

With PowerLogic system it provides the precise energy information analysis and control you need to reduce usage and cut utility cost.

The Powerlogic system monitors the energy consumption of your building, factory, housing, tenants, and common areas enabling you to recover energy costs, identify problems, and pinpoint areas for improvement.
