Automation & Robotics

The 2020s may well be the decade that sees the steady trickle of automation development turn into a firehose of rapid innovation. Driven by advances in artificial intelligence IOT, Cloud Computing, Machine Learning, Wireless communication and a host of newer generation sensors and actuators, the manufacturing floor of tomorrow will look quite different than it does today. Gone will be the reliance of human operators performing tasks; with fully automated processes in place, they will be free to focus their talents and knowledge on further improving productivity, quality, and innovation.

The result could be a renaissance in manufacturing in both industrialized and developing countries, bringing high-quality and low-cost manufactured goods to businesses and consumers around the world

THE HIERARCHY OF INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION

Not all industrial automation control systems are created equal; a hierarchy of systems that can be applied in a manufacturing environment. From the lowest level to the highest, they are:

• Field-level: Component devices such as temperature and pressure sensors, motors, actuators and barcode readers

• Control level: Devices that process sensor input and send command signals to actuators such as motors, valves and relays; often “hard-wired” for a specific task

• Programmable logic controllers: Microprocessor-driven devices that are similar to control-level devices except that they can be reprogrammed for different tasks

• Supervising and production control-level: Systems that monitor the lower-level devices and enable humans to initiate production runs, set production targets and perform other supervisory tasks

• Information or enterprise level: Systems related to production planning, forecasting, sales-order processing and other overall business activities
