INTRODUCTION
This paper provides an introduction to automation. Automation is the use of control systems and information technologies reducing the need for human intervention. In the scope of industrialization, automation is a step beyond mechanization. Then it provides the applications of automation in industries such as manufacturing, agricultural, health care, distribution and logistics, cold storage, retail, field service, government. Automation (including roboticization, industrial automation and computer numerical control), is the use of control systems such as computers to control industrial machinery and processes, replacing human operators. In the scope of industrialization, it is a step beyond mechanization. Whereas mechanization provided human operators with machinery to assist them with the physical requirements of work, automation greatly reduces the need for human sensory and mental requirements as well. At first glance, automation might appear to devalue labor through its replacement with less-expensive machines; however, the overall effect of this on the workforce as a whole remains unclear.[citation needed] Today automation of the workforce is quite advanced, and continues to advance increasingly more rapidly throughout the world and is encroaching on ever more skilled jobs, yet during the same period the general well-being and quality of life of most people in the world (where political factors have not muddied the picture) have improved dramatically. What role automation has played in these changes has not been well studied.
INTRODUCTION TO AUTOMATION
Automation is the use of control systems and information technologies reducing the need for human intervention. In the scope of industrialization, automation is a step beyond mechanization. Whereas mechanization provided human operators with machinery to assist them with the muscular requirements of work, automation greatly reduces the need for human sensory and mental requirements as well. Automation plays an increasingly important role in the world economy and in daily experience.Automation has had a notable impact in a wide range of highly visible industries beyond manufacturing. Once-ubiquitous telephone operators have been replaced largely by automated telephone switchboards and answering machines. Medical processes such as primary screening in electrocardiography or radiography and laboratory analysis of human genes, sera, cells, and tissues are carried out at much greater speed and accuracy by automated systems. Automated teller machines have reduced the need for bank visits to obtain cash and carry out transactions. In general, automation has been responsible for the shift in the world economy from agrarian to industrial in the 19th century and from industrial to services in the 20th century.
ADVANCED AUTOMATION IN INDUSTRIES:
MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES : Combine wireless local area network (WLAN) enabled handheld computers, bar code and thermal printing technologies with applications from market-leading Advanced Automation to streamline your manufacturing processes. By creating a more seamless flow of continuous, accurate documentation on materials, parts or machine conditions, you’ll experience fewer errors and improve production. Advanced Automation can help you error-proof your operations to deliver better products faster, reduce waste, control costs and improve customer service.
A FEW COMMON MANUFACTURING SOLUTIONS:WORK IN PROCESS TRACKING
Tracking materials from receipt through production or assembly processes, and ultimately to finished goods, requires a tremendous amount of labor and paperwork. Yet, knowing where in-process materials and orders are is critical to plant efficiency. Using mobile computers or advanced data collection devices, manufacturers can more accurately track the flow of materials through the plant in real-time. Materials and orders are more easily located and your workers can focus on their assigned tasks rather than on searching for missing or misplaced orders.
LABOR TRACKING
Without a practical way to track labor hours per task, many manufacturers rely on standard cost estimates or manual tracking processes that can mask true profitability or even have a negative impact on labor productivity. A mobile labor management system allows you to capture and track “true” labor costs at the point of activity, enabling more accurate and competitive pricing as well as a better labor utilization.
ERROR PROOFING
Utilize mobile technology and data collection systems to validate that all operations and paperwork have been completed to specification. Operators scan pre- and post-operation or process. Any overlooked process, assembly or procedural step can be easily identified and corrected before impacting productivity or requiring costly re-work.
MATERIAL TRACKING SOLUTIONS-
Keep inventory data accurate and up-to-date from the moment your warehouse receives product to the moment it leaves the shipping dock. Track materials as they move through assembly or processing to the finished goods warehouse to fulfill customer orders. With advanced data capture technology such as bar code scanning, RFID and Direct Part Marking you can enable complete product traceability.
AGRICULTURAL INDUSTRIES
Working outdoors throughout the growing season is hard work. Whether it’s monitoring conditions and data logging to checking inventories of fertilizer to tracking assets, farming requires a computing solution that stands up to the toughest outdoor environments. Advanced Automation’s mobile computer solutions offer a variety of outdoor devices designed with GPS capabilities, sunlight – readable displays and integrated wireless communications to keep your farming operations running smoothly.
Thermal printers : designed to print on demand bar coded plant/product labels or tags are another part of a successful solution to streamline your processes.The Horticultural and Agricultural markets are quickly changing, moving toward more automation and faster referencing techniques.
Bar code labeling : is an excellent way to implement these changes. Bar code labeling can be used for product identification for sales or tracking purposes. Descriptive labels can be used to save staff time, thus increasing efficiency and effectiveness that ultimately effect the bottom line.Bar code labels can be used to identify plants being grown or sold. Various types of bar code labels are available, including graphics, for all your labeling and tagging needs. Labels can be used for hang tags, strip or loop tags, plant tags, pot labels and sticks, or barcode patches for pricing or labeling. Labels can include price,
size of plants, PLU, SKU, UPC bar codes, color pictures, and/or your company logo. Labels can also include growing requirements, pricing, and plant maturation information for use in greenhouse, garden center, nursery, or retail environments.
