Description

The practice of using robotics, machines and control systems for completing processes instead of employing human workers is called industrial automation. Tools and technologies used for achieving industrial automation include robots, numerical control (NC) machine tools, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), computer numerical control (CNC) systems and industrial sensors. Industries are implementing automation technologies for improving productivity, quality and safety in manufacturing and other industrial applications. Automation may be implemented by integrating automation systems into the existing production lines or by implementing stand-alone automated systems. Industrial automation is a promising trend and is expected to gain tremendous growth due to development of new associated technologies such as nanotechnology, nano-scale assembly systems, MEMS, nanotech sensors, Internet, and machine to machine (M2M) networking. This book discusses the fundamentals as well as modern approaches to industrial automation and its significance in contemporary times. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book.
