advantages. However, in order to make the most of the opportunities that automation offers, the
business needs to ensure that they are using the correct automation control equipment that
performs the tasks required, and that they are reliable. Ideally, the business will want the
equipment to be set to control the automated tasks and then not have to worry about it again until
all the tasks are completed. With the right ACE controls, a number of benefits to the business can

Increased Productivity and Higher Output
One of the main benefits of using automation control equipment is the increased productivity of
the machines that they control. These machines can often work a lot faster than employees would
be able to, therefore it will not take as long to complete as many tasks. Some of these tasks may
have been very labour intensive for employees and they can now be completed in a matter of
minutes, speeding up the whole production process. The increased productivity of the machines
that can carry out automated tasks not only means that work can be completed faster, but also
that the workload can be increased considerably too. This leads to a higher output and may help
the company to attract more business as they will have a greater capacity to deal with any
additional workload. A further advantage of automated machines is that there is likely to be less
variability in the quality of the products than would be found with those produced by employees,

Reduction in costs
An automated machine may be able to do the job of several employees which automatically leads

to savings in terms of staffing, but there are also other costs that may be reduced by the use of
automated machines. Because the quality of the products is consistently higher when using an
automated process then the amount of wastage is significantly reduced which saves money on
materials that would otherwise be deemed unusable, plus it also saves time having to produce the
item again.
Automation control equipment can be used to control other factors in the factory rather than just
the machines that are used in the manufacturing process. They can also be used to control lighting
and heating so that these systems come on when the factory is open, but turn off again when it is
closed. This will help the business to save further money on the utility bills for the factory, which
are usually a major expense.
Benefits for employees
The use of automated systems is sometimes criticised for taking work away from employees and
ultimately leading to a loss of jobs. However, this is not as widespread as is sometimes imagined
and automation actually benefits employees in a number of ways. The average working week in
manufacturing today is 40 hours. This is compared with over 70 hours in 1900. Working such long
hours can cause exhaustion in workers and lead to a number of health conditions. Automation has

also increased safety for employees in many manufacturing environments. By taking over many of
the jobs that may have been hazardous for employees in the past, the reduction in manufacturing
injuries has decreased significantly since their introduction.
