What is automation industries ?

Industrial Automation

Industrial automation refers to the utilization of computer and machinery-assisted systems to efficiently manage various industrial operations. Depending on the nature of the operations involved, industrial automation systems are primarily categorized into two types:
1) Process plant automation and 2) manufacturing automation."

Process Plant Automation
"In process industries, products are the result of multiple chemical processes involving various raw materials. Industries such as pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, cement, and paper rely on automation to ensure high-quality, productive, and reliably controlled production of physical process variables within the overall process plant."
Manufacturing Automation System
"In manufacturing industries, products are created from raw materials using machinery and robotics. These industries encompass textiles and clothing, glass and ceramics, food and beverages, papermaking, and more. A contemporary approach in manufacturing systems involves the integration of automation throughout various stages, including material handling, machining, assembly, inspection, and packaging. Utilizing computer-aided control and industrial robotic systems, manufacturing automation achieves high levels of flexibility and efficiency."
Industrial Automation Equipment
"Industrial Automation (IA) is a comprehensive, adaptable, and cost-effective system platform comprising diverse equipment and components. These components serve various functions such as sensing, control, supervision, and monitoring in relation to industrial processes. The structure of industrial automation, depicted in the figure below, delineates the myriad functional elements of IA."
Sensing and Actuating Elements
The sensors or sensing elements play a crucial role by converting physical process variables like flow, pressure, and temperature into electrical or pneumatic signals. These sensors, which encompass thermocouples, Resistor Temperature Detectors (RTDs), and strain gauges, among others, provide signals for processing, analysis, and decision-making to generate control output. Various control techniques are then employed to achieve the desired output by comparing the current sensed process variable with predefined values. Subsequently, controllers compute the outputs, which are applied as electrical or pneumatic signal inputs to actuating elements. Actuators, including control valves, relays, and motors, convert these signals into physical process variables.
Control System Elements
A contemporary automation control device is the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), equipped with dedicated software for programmable control operations. Featuring robust CPUs, digital and analog I/O, and communication modules, PLCs operate effectively in industrial environments to regulate diverse process parameters.
Supervisory Control Elements
Supervisory control oversees automatic controllers, which in turn manage smaller subsystems. Key components at this level include process station PCs and Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs). Process station PCs handle tasks such as set point computations, performance monitoring, diagnostics, startup, shutdown, and emergency operations.
