Industrial Automation is The Uses of Different Control Systems Such as Plc, DCS, Robots and Various Others Software & Hardware. for the Purpose Smooth Handling of Processes, Conveyors & Various Production Lines.
The Demand for Automation increases because of Rapid Changes in Technology from General Machines to Automatic Machines. these Advances Technologies are being driven by Automatic Computerized Systems/Controllers & They Provide High Accuracy, Precision & Amazing Performance.
Types of Industrial Automation
- Fixed Automation
Fixed Automation is a Fixed Process/Task or Continous Flow given to a Machines to Perform. This Automation is Used where production mass is High due to Certain Changes
- Variable Automation
Variable Automation Also Called Flexible Automation in this Automation Very Less Involvement of Human Being is Required.
Best Automation Controller
There are Various Controller Present but the below Controller are Very Famous
- Microcontroller
The microcontroller is an Embaded System used in Automation as a Heart of the System. All the Programming will be Executed in this Controller. Also Generally Pyhton,c, C++ Language Required for the Programming of Microcontroller
- PLC
PLC Stands for programable Logic Controller this is a Major Device for Industrial Automation. Plc is Generally used for the Logic Wring where it Becomes the Brain of the System, Generally, Ladder Logic/ STL/SCL Language is Required for the Programming
Advantages of Automation
While in the Industries The Running Cost of Industries is Rapidly Decreasing, This is Because of the Automation. When a Worker works they Required a Certain Rest, Leaves, Food, and many Others Issues. So These Continuous Replaced with Robots.
- Increased Productivity
Either the Factory/ plant or Manufacturing unit the Machines can work 24×7 Without Distraction. Industrial Automation Helps to Improve Productivity, Reliability, Life of the System at the same time they Reduce the Breakdown, Maintainance Time Also they Improve the Productivity of Running Plant.
- -Improved Product Quality
While Running Plant the Product Quality can Only When the Breakdown does not happen at the same time High-Quality Automation systems are Designed.
Future of Industrial Automation
The report says the Career Opportunity in Industrial Automation is Increasing very Fast & can 50% of Human workers can be Replaced by Machines in Upcoming Few Years. The Robot Will be Used Everywhere in Fixed Process. so a Skilled Automation Engineer will be Required, Hence there is Going to be Biggest Opportunity for Automation Engineers.
Upcoming Technology in Industrial Automation
Due to the Very Rapid Changes in Technology, there will New Technology will be Used to Boost the Speed of Automation. The Below Technology Will Used in Future in The Industrial Automation.
- Artificial Intelligence
- Machine Learning
- IOT
- IIOT
- Mqtt
- Poka Yoke with AI
- Smart Cameras
- Block Chain
- And Many More
Jobs in Industrial Automation
As there is a Huge Acceptance of Automation in Plants so, Day by day the Demand for Industrial Automation Engineers is Increasing. This is Because of the High Productivity, Low breakdown & High Safety Execution of Plants
Career opportunities are Increasing in robotics, and industrial automation. Also With Reference to International Data There May be robotics-Automation related services that Can reach $535.4 billion in 2022. This is a big Numbers in Investment.
