AUTOMATION AND TECHNOLOGY
HOW AUTOMATION WORKS
WHAT IS AUTOMATION ?
THREE STEPS OF AUTOMATIONS :
Measurment
Evaluation
Control
ADVANTAGES OF AUTOMATION
RAPID DECISION-MAKING TASKS : Automated systems can react more quickly than people
HIGHLY REPETITIVE TASKS : Automated machinery are better than people in every type of repetitive work
HIGHLY COMPLEX TASKS : automated systems can make decisions that would be too complicated for human operators
DANGEROUS TASKS : Automated machines can operate in enviorments that are unsafe for people
VARIETIES AND USES OF ROBOTS
INDUSTRIAL ROBOTS : Are controlled by humans, they can do highly repetitive tasks in factories
APPLIANCE ROBOTS : Are used in the home to carry out very specific tasks without human control
AUTONOMOUS MOBILE ROBOTS : Are intelligent self-guided robots which can learn how to navigate independently
REMOTE-CONTROL ROBOTS : These robots have to be operated at distance by a human controller
HUMANOIDS : Are types of robots that can replicate the human behaviours (sing, dance, speak, ecc...)
AUTOMATION TECHNOLOGY
uses scientific and technical knowledge to create systems that make decisions based on inputs
THREE KEY COMPONENTS
SENSORS : detected dydtems states
ACTUATORS : execute control commands
CONTROLLERS : manage program flow and take decisions
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES
ADVANTAGES
Less workers
Continuous production (24/7)
Less errors
Work faster
Reduction of higly repetitive tasks
DISADVANTAGES
Job losses
Harder decisions for workers
More individual responsability for the success of the company
