Factory automation is the use of technology to automate manufacturing processes, meaning processes can occur with little to no human input. The goal is to increase productivity (automations can work quicker than humans) and reduce costs.
Some examples of factory automation include fixed, programmable, and flexible automation.
Fixed automation refers to the fixed configuration of machinery to act out repetitive tasks.
Programmable automation has the capacity to produce products in batches; between batches, machinery can change tasks through re-programming to produce new products.
Like programmable automation, flexible automation has the ability to change configurations for new tasks. However, this does not have to occur in batches but can produce new products whenever the tooling is changed.
Some of the benefits of factory automation are:
- Improved quality
- Increased productivity
- Consistent results
- Reduced waste due to minimising mistakes
- Safer working conditions
