Industrial automation refers to the use of control systems, such as computers or robots, for operating equipment in industrial settings. This includes machinery, processes in factories, boilers, switching on telephone networks, aircraft, and other applications that require minimal human intervention. The primary goal of industrial automation is to improve efficiency, reduce labor costs, enhance productivity, and ensure quality control in manufacturing and production processes. Automation encompasses a wide range of technologies, including robotics, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and software applications used for monitoring and controlling physical processes. It plays a crucial role in modern manufacturing and is integral to the implementation of smart factories and the Industry 4.0 movement, promoting interconnectedness between machines, systems, and data.
