Self+ Motion = Automation
Introduction Automation means: Auto = Self & mation = motion Self+ Motion = Automation Automation solutions are required right from Agriculture to Space Technology. Automation is the necessity for manufacturing industry to survive in today's globally competitive market.
4
Idea about Automation
5
Some pictures for Idea
7
Definition Automation is a set of technologies that results in operation of machines and systems without using significant human intervention and acheives performance superior to manual operation.
8
Need of Automation Improved quality & accuracy Increased productivity
Greater product variety Complete gain control of manufacturing process Consistency in manufacturing Working in difficult & hazardous environment Quick change over from one product to another Reduced cost of quality
9
Role of Automation in Industry
To make profit. Maximum production in minimum time period. Reduced overall product life cycle. Reduced Cost of production, manpower & material. Once design is provided, production planning & installation must be carried out.
10
Advantages Increased productivity. Improved quality.
Increased Consisting of output. Reduced human intervention. Works in dangerous environments Reduced labour costs & expenses. High production rate. Greater product variety. Quick change over from one product to another.
11
Disadvantages Higher level of maintenance is needed.
The risk includes the possibility that workers will become slaves to automated machines. It requires high investment in general purpose equipment. There is possibility of security threats.
12
Automation Tools Programmable Logic Control (PLC)
Human Machine Interface (HMI) Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) Distributed Control System (DCS) Computer Aided Design (CAD) Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) Artificial Neutral Network (ANN) Robotics
13
Types of Automation Automation can be classified into four categories:
Fixed Automation System Programmable Automation System Flexible Automation System Integrated Automation System
14
1. Fixed Automation System
Defination: It is a system where the sequence of process operators is fixed by the instrumentation configuration. High product rate Fixed economical oeration High volume production
15
2. Programmable Automation System
Defination: In this production equipments is meant with potential to alter the sequences of operations to accmodated totally different products configuration. High investments in equipments Low production rate. Flexibility to make changes in product configuration Most suitable for batch production.
16
3. Flexible Automation System
Defination: It is an extension of programmable automation. A versatile machine control system is one that is capable of manufacturing the range of products or parts with just about no time loss for change over from one product to other. High investment for engineered system continuous production of variable. Mixture of products Medium production rate.
