Automation is the technology by which a process or procedure is performed with minimal human interference through the use of technological or mechanical devices. It is the technique of making a process or a system operate automatically. Automation crosses all functions within almost every industry from installation, maintenance, manufacturing, marketing, sales, medicine, design, procurement, management, etc. Automation has revolutionised those areas in which it has been introduced, and there is scarcely an aspect of modern life that has been unaffected by it.
CKC Automation processes Many different processes in factories have been completely automated in order to increase efficiency, productivity, and reduce workplace accidents.
Automation can be achieved by several different means including mechanical, electrical, electronic devices and computers, and hydraulic systems. Industries that involve very complicated systems such as modern factories, aircrafts and ships often use a combination of different automation techniques in order to maximise their process efficiencies.
Automation is a broad range of technologies that includes robotics and expert systems, telemetry and communications, electro-optics, Cybersecurity, process measurement and control, sensors, wireless applications, systems integration, test measurement, and more. Industrial automation in manufacturing entails the use of machines to carry out manufacturing processes with levels of speed, stamina, accuracy, and consistency with capabilities of that which is beyond the human worker.
The main benefits of automating processes in manufacturing include reduced production cost, reduced waste, improved quality and reliability, and drastically reduced workplace-related accidents.
