Why do we you need industrial automation?

Answer 1

Automation is virtually required in industrial engineering so that processes will occur faster, safer, cheaper, reliably, and with greater precision.

However, just because something can be automated (like programming your commode to flush every morning at 6:17) doesn't mean it's necessarily a good thing or a bad thing. Some people fall into the trap of thinking that if something can be automated, it should be. I could purchase a robotic lawn mower, but I enjoy mowing with my gas powered motor. I like the exercise and getting outside and enjoying the sun.

Answer 2

Home automation systems are designed to deliver an unprecedented level of efficiency and simplicity within the home, providing each user with a streamlined smart home technology experience. Home automation makes life easier by having all the control you would need integrated into one home automation system. You can automate whole-house audio video, lighting control, and climate control, as well as other technology within the home. Apart from this for home security, this also includes alarm system, and all of the doors, windows, locks, smoke detectors, surveillance cameras and any other sensors that are linked to it. One of the main advantage of cutting-edge home automation is remote monitoring and access. With the installation of home automation, you can see what's going on in your home while you're away.

Answer 3

Now days there are only several reasons left for a company to automate its products.

1.) A product as designed cannot technologically be manufactured manually

2.) Boring tedious work that humans will not do or repetitive and dangerous work that in can lead to human injury

3.) To replicate processes consistently and with better precision or quality than a human

4.) When mass production is no longer effiicient at hourly worker rates

  Automation can reduce the work force and for business this is a good thing. Instead of paying two employee's, they can pay one. The other side is, as an employee. I will make a higher dollar amount. My plant was automated seven years ago. We reduced our work force from 16 to 4. It made our jobs safer and easier. I I can manage the plant more efficient. I work in a power plant. I use to have spend hours outside looking at and monitoring equipment. I had to open valves manually. I have broken ribs, twisted ankles, been burned. That is all tied into a plc or dcs now and I can watch and operate it all from computers. I send a signal and the valve opens by hydraulics or air. I can see the temperature of any bearing or winding. My job is a better place. For the company.....the safety has improved and down time for loss of revenue is a 3/4 less.

  Without automated machinery to mass produce products, we would be live in the "dark ages". The demand for products (goods) would be greater than the supply. Granted, mass produced products don't equal the quality of hand made products, but a compromise must be made somewhere.

Computers are not really automatic. They do the works as per the instructions in the programs. But for normal users, its just automatic.
