In today’s fast-paced world, automation has become a buzzword and for good reason. Automation is a game-changer for the manufacturing sector, revolutionizing processes and enhancing productivity. By utilizing largely automatic equipment, businesses can streamline operations, optimize efficiency, and improve worker safety.
In this article, we will explore the concept of automation, its benefits to the manufacturing sector, and how PennAir’s Automation Division helps customers achieve remarkable results. Let’s delve into the world of automation and discover how it’s reshaping the manufacturing landscape.
Automation, as defined by the Oxford Dictionary, refers to the use of largely automatic equipment in a system of manufacturing or other production processes. It involves employing machinery and technology to perform tasks that were traditionally carried out by human labor.
Fixed Automation: Fixed automation refers to the use of specialized equipment designed to perform a specific set of repetitive tasks. This type of automation is ideal for processes that require consistent precision and speed, such as assembly lines. An example would be using ABB’s CRB 15000 to perform automated material handling.
Programmable Automation: Programmable automation involves the use of machinery that can be reprogrammed to perform various tasks using automation products like Festo’s Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). This flexibility allows manufacturers to adapt to changing production needs and achieve greater versatility in their operations.
Flexible Automation: Flexible automation combines the benefits of fixed and programmable automation. It utilizes robotic applications and advanced control technologies to perform a wide range of tasks with high precision and adaptability. Flexible automation is particularly useful for complex manufacturing processes that require agility and customization.
Automation holds numerous advantages for the manufacturing sector, making it an attractive solution for businesses seeking enhanced efficiency and productivity.
