Automation

What is automation, what are its benefits, what are its harms, how did the concept of
automation arise and what are the most important applications in the field of automation This
is what will be explained to explain it in this research

What is automation?
Automation is the technology by which a process or procedure is performed with minimal
human assistance. ... Automation has been achieved by various means including mechanical,
hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical, electronic devices and computers, usually in combination

There are some definitions of automation  

1) Automation is replacing human workers with mechanical or electronic devices.

2) Automation is applying scientific knowledge to find answers and fix problems.

3) Automation is using more resources to manufacture goods more efficiently.

4) Automation is hiring workers from all over the world to manufacture goods.

Benefits of automation
Lower operating costs

Robots can perform the work of three to five people, depending on the task. In addition to
savings on the cost of labor, energy savings can also be significant due to lower heating
requirements in automated operations

Improved worker safety

Automated cells remove workers from dangerous tasks.

Reduced factory lead times

Improve process control and significantly reduce lead times compared to outsourcing.
Increased production output

A robot has the ability to work at a constant speed, unattended,That means you’ve got the
potential to produce more. New products can be more quickly introduced into the production.

Easy integration

Productivity will work with you to provide a complete system – hardware, software and
controls included. Your cell will be proven out at Productivity and shipped production-ready –
allowing you to start making parts as soon as it’s installed in your shop.

What are the harms of Automation?

One of the problems of automation is the inability of the machine to do some delicate and
single work. For example, if we need to make a product for once, it is not necessary to
manufacture machines in order to manufacture this product in addition to that the machine
does not have the human sense as it does what it has programmed for it is not suitable for
artistic works such as fashion design And drawing.

How did the concept of automation arise?

In 1771 Richard Arkwright invented the first fully automated spinning mill driven by water
power, known at the time as the water frame. An automatic flour mill was developed by Oliver
Evans in 1785, making it the first completely automated industrial process.

What are the most important applications in the field of automation?

Fixed automation also known as “hard automation,” refers to an automated production facility
in which the sequence of processing operations is fixed by the equipment configuration. In
effect, the programmed commands are contained in the machines in the form of cams, gears,
wiring,

Programmable automation is a form of automation for producing products in batches. The

products are made in batch quantities ranging from several dozen to several thousand units at
a time for each new batch.

Flexible automation is an extension of programmable automation. The disadvantage with

programmable automation is the time required to reprogram and change over the production
equipment for each batch of new product.
Conclusions.
From my own perspective, the automation is the establishment of the machine, so the work
that humans cannot do due to the accuracy and speed that the machine possesses by
comparing it with humans. They use it for their needs, because at the end of the manufacturer
it is from why the machine was made.

And if we look from another angle, we see human problems in replacing a person. Rather, the
machine is that when replacing workers with one machine, one person runs the machine and
the rest of the people are expelled.

Automation can breed out business knowledge because it creates a level of abstraction
between the employee and the business process. The employee no longer becomes a decision
maker. This also creates morale issues for employees, who feel that their talents aren't being
utilized
