Introduction to
Automation
Industries
1. What is Automation
The word Automation is derived from Greek words “Auto” and
“Mation”
AUTO- SELF
MATION-MOTION
1. Robotics: Robots are machines programmed to perform tasks autonomously or with remote control. They
are commonly used in manufacturing, healthcare, and maintenance.
2. Artificial Intelligence (AI): AI enables machines to learn from data, adapt to new inputs, and perform tasks
that typically require human intelligence. This technology is used in automation for decision-making
processes.
3. Internet of Things (IoT): IoT refers to the network of interconnected devices that can communicate and
exchange data. Automation systems can utilize IoT to monitor and control various processes remotely.
4. Machine Learning: Machine learning algorithms enable systems to improve performance without being
explicitly programmed. This technology is crucial for optimizing automation processes.
5. Industrial Automation: Industrial automation involves the use of control systems such as PLCs
(Programmable Logic Controllers) and SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) to automate
machinery and processes in industries.
6. Process Automation: Process automation aims to streamline repetitive tasks within a workflow. It involves
the use of software to automate tasks like data entry, document processing, and customer communication.
By integrating these key concepts and technologies, automation can enhance efficiency, productivity, and
safety in various industries and applications.
