Industrial automation is an industrial production process involving a set of machines through which a combination of raw materials is turned into a final product. Since the Industrial Revolution in Britain, there has always been considerable effort to develop sophisticated techniques to assist people with different production tasks.
In the process of industrial automation, the term “machine” can mean anything such as an engine, drill, conveyor belt, etc. that are placed under electromechanical devices or chemical machines such as ovens, dryers, chemical combustion systems, etc.
It is a process that works with machines and other industrial equipment with the help of digital logic programming and reducing human intervention in decision making and manual command process with the help of mechanized equipment.
Therefore, the operator must first control the amount of fuel in the stove by controlling a valve to bring the temperature to the desired value. Once the required temperature has been reached, it must be maintained by continuously adjusting the valve, ie increasing or decreasing the fuel according to the temperature for the next 30 minutes.
The term automation was coined by an engineer from Ford Motor Company who pioneered automation and the assembly line. In the beginning, the industrial production process, unlike modern sensors, actuators and computers is based on a worker’s eyes, hands and brain.
In essence, the implementation of automation in a production process focuses on replacing a human worker with an independent machine. Initially, these independent machines had to be coordinated by a human supervisor for a smooth production process. But with technological advances in analog and digital control systems, microprocessors and PLCs (programmable logic controllers) and various sensors, it has become very easy to synchronize multiple machines and standalone processes and achieve true industrial automation.
