Based on these principles and the demand of the manufacturing segment, Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) were created in the last century. However, they have many common goals: high reliability, high repeatability, and ease of deployment and maintenance. Thus, there is a constant strive to automate every step of the manufacturing process.ĭifferent systems are used in each segment of the automation.
Machines are capable of producing more, have a higher tolerance level, and have a higher quality level of craftsmanship when it comes to repeated production. The process of eliminating the human element from this process is not a new concept. Most consumer goods, from food to cell phones, are manufactured at a production facility, shipped through a distribution channel, and delivered to a retailer or directly to your door using automation.
