  3. Economy improvement.

  4. Errors reduced. 

Disadvantage

  1. Humans out of jobs

  2. High initial cost

  3. goal of automation

  4. Increase production,reduce cost, with less time.

Different automation tools

  • ANN-Artificial Neural technology

  • DCS-Distributed Control System

  • HMI-Human Machine Interface

  • SCADA-Supervisory Control Data Acquisition

  • PLC-Programming Logic controllers

  • Robotics

  • Motion control

Applications

  1. Automated  video surveillance

  2. Automated highway system

  3. Automated manufacturing

  4. home automation

  5. Industrial automation
