What is industrial automation equipment?
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 is 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.

Now, with industrial automation, the whole process is handled without the help of the operator. First, there is a temperature sensor near the oven that reports the temperature to the computer. There is a motorized valve that is also controlled by a computer to supply fuel to the stove. Based on the temperature reading from the sensor, the computer opens the valve to initially have more fuel. After reaching the desired temperature, the valve turns off.

But the computer can open or close the valve; To allow even the smallest amount of fuel, based on temperature readings. The timer on the computer shows 30 minutes off and the computer can turn off the system completely.

The purpose of industrial automation
The term automation was coined by an engineer from Ford Motor Company who pioneered automation and the assembly line. In the beginning, the process of industrial production, 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. With the rise of the industrial economy, the business strategies of industrial automation have also changed over time. The main goals for implementing automation are:

• increase production
• Reduce costs, especially human costs
• Improve product quality
• Effective use of raw materials
• Reducing energy consumption
• Increase business profits

Types of industrial automation
Now that we have seen a little about the layout of a typical industrial automation system, let's continue to discuss the different types of this system. Industrial automation systems are usually classified into four types:

Fixed automation system
In a fixed automation system, production equipment is fixed with a set of functions or tasks, and changes in this operation are seldom made. Fixed automation systems are commonly used in continuous flow processes such as conveyors and mass production systems.

Programmable automation system
In a programmable automation system, the sequence of operations as well as the configuration of machines can be changed using electronic controls. This system requires considerable time and effort to reprogram machines and usually in batch process production.

Flexible automation system
A flexible automation system is always controlled by computers and is often implemented in cases where the product changes frequently. CNC machines are a betting example of this system. The code given by the operator to the computer is specific to a specific task and based on the code, the machine obtains the tools and equipment necessary for production.

Integrated automation system
An integrated automation system is a set of independent machines, processes and data that all operate under the command of a single control system to run a simultaneous production process automation system.
Computer-aided design (CAD), CAM (computer-aided manufacturing), computer-controlled tools and machines, robots, cranes and conveyors are all integrated using sophisticated production planning and control.

Advantages of industrial automation
The task performed by human operators can be easily replaced by tedious physical work.
Human operators can avoid working in hazardous production environments with extreme temperatures, pollution, intoxicants or radioactive materials.
Tasks that are difficult for a typical human operator can be easily performed. These tasks include lifting heavy and large loads, working with very small objects, and so on.
Production is always faster and the cost of the product is significantly lower (compared to the same product that is produced by hand).
Several quality controls can be integrated into the production process to create stability and uniformity.
The industrial economy can improve significantly, which has a direct impact on living standards.
How does electrical industrial automation work?
Electrical industrial automation, controlled by an intelligent device, can wirelessly control certain electrical systems of a certain commercial space from any location. This means complete individual control over the following systems and more:

Lighting
Temperatures
Shadow
Home Appliances
Total energy consumption
What are the benefits of electrical industrial automation?
Technological advances allow us to determine the workflow in a way that is measurable and highly productive. This is especially useful in large-scale commercial locations where otherwise power efficiency can be a daunting task. Here is a quick list of some of the other benefits of electrical automation:

Save energy: With a little bit of automation, it is easy to understand where and when you can reduce energy consumption
