What is Automation?

Manual vs Automatic

• There is a very basic example of a manual vs automatic process

Manual Process(Left) : We should manually press the switch on the wall and turn the light on.

Automatic Process(Right) : A sensor works when it sees someone entering the room, the open contact is going to be closed and following that, the Light is going to turn on automatically.

 

Q. Now, what's the difference between thiese two?

        -. Automatic way is more convenient for us. 

 

• let's bring the same concept into a factory the manual vs automatic concept

Manual Process(Left) : We can hire a few workers to do the job.

Automatic Process(Right) : We can put a system in place that is able to take care of the whole manufacturing process.

 

•  Your machines are going to take care of most of the jobs that were previously done by workers and they are going to do it fast,  hassle free and accurate
