Before discussing how industrial automation is useful and why industrial automation companies are high in demand, it is good to have a look at what industrial automation is and what are the advantages of industrial automation. Given here is a quick look at the same.

What is Industrial Automation?

Industrial automation is the use of control systems like computers or robots and the information technologies for handling different types of machineries and the processes that can replace the manpower in the industry.

Benefits of Industrial Automation:

There are several advantages of industrial automation owing to which it is highly desirable. Earlier its purpose was to increase the productivity and to bring down the associated costs of the human operators. But, today the entire focus of the automation is shifted to enhance the overall quality and flexibility of the manufacturing processes.

Higher Efficiency:

There was a time when in the automobile industries, installation of the pistons to the engines used to be performed manually and there used to be a minute error rate. At present, this task is performed using the automated machineries and error rate has gone down to a great extent.

Lower Operating Costs:

With the help of industrial automation healthcare costs have been eliminated because there are no such things like paid leaves and holidays that are inevitable in case of the human operators. Moreover, industrial automation does not require other employee benefits like the pension coverage, bonuses etc. Though it is true that high initial costs have to be incurred but the maintenance costs associated with the machineries used for industrial automation is lesser as they do not fail often. If they do only the maintenance and computer engineers are needed for repairing them.

Higher Flexibility:

Adding new tasks in the assembly lines of the machines needs a thorough training with human operators. But, the robots can be programmed to do any sort of tasks. This can make the manufacturing process highly flexible.

Higher Accuracy in Information:

If you can add automated data collection it would allow you to collect the key production of the information and would also improve accuracy of the data.
