What is industrial automation ??????

Answer Posted / thowsif_emerson_csm team

Industrial Automation & Applications:-

Industrial automation is the use of robotic
devices to complete manufacturing tasks. In this day and
age of computers, industrial automation is becoming
increasingly important in the manufacturing process because
computerized or robotic machines are capable of handling
repetitive tasks quickly and efficiently. Machines used in
industrial automation are also capable of completing
mundane tasks that are not desirable to workers. In
addition, the company can save money because it does not
need to pay for expensive benefits for this specialized
machinery. There are both pros and cons for a company when
it comes to industrial automation.

On the plus side, with soaring healthcare costs, paid days
off, vacation time, and other costly employee benefits,
companies can save money with industrial automation. While
robotic machinery can initially be extremely expensive, the
loss of monthly wages for production workers leads to
incredible savings for the company. While machinery used
for industrial automation can break down, it does not
happen often. If it does, only a handful of maintenance or
computer engineers are needed to handle repairs and get
lines running smoothly again.

In addition, many plants hire dozens of production workers
for a variety of shifts and need to close on certain days.
Industrial automation, however, allows a company to run the
plant twenty-four hours a day, 365 days a year, without
paying overtime. This fact alone can add up to significant
savings.

A company that employs forty-eight factory workers on three
different shifts and closes on weekends, for example, can
save thousands of dollars with industrial automation. This
is particularly true if weekend work is necessary, which
means overtime pay of time and a half must be paid for
Saturday work and double-time for Sunday. This equates to
an additional twelve hours of pay per employee. Of course,
life insurance, 401K benefits, dental insurance, health
insurance, pension coverage, and disability also contribute
to the expense.

Industrial automation can eliminate the need for all forty-
eight jobs. The robotic machinery used for industrial
automation may only involve a monthly payment until the
machinery is paid for, a couple technicians to keep the
robotic machinery running, and electricity costs.
Unfortunately for workers, industrial automation can
eliminate thousands of jobs. As the workforce decreases and
the cost of living increases, many families struggle to
make ends meet as their jobs are replaced by high-tech
machines.
