Automation is a step beyond mechanization, Automation is the use of control systems and information technologies to reduce the need for human work in production of goods and services. Where mechanization provided human operators with machinery to assist them with the muscular requirements of work, automation greatly decreases the need for human sensory and mental requirements as well. Automation plays an increasingly important role in the world economy and in daily life. Automatic systems are being preferred over manual system. Through this project we have tried to show automatic control of a house as a result of which power is saved to some extent. The Global System for Mobile Communications
Saving energy is an extremely efficient way conserve resources. Whenever there is a room in the facility that is not in use, turn off the lights. There are many methodical ways to conserve energy, but installing solar panels is one of the most useful ways, especially for a big corporation. Solar panels convert the radiation of the sun's rays into usable energy and are 100% eco friendly. They help diminish pollution immensely and will help assure a better future for humans, animals, and nature.

Air lite, for example, represents an eco-friendly technology advance by purifying the air around working like leaves on the trees, eliminating bacteria, mold, and functioning as a filter that eliminates toxic substances. It also reduces the energy consumption in about a 15-50% as it reflects the hot component of sunlight, avoiding that rooms overheat (EASME, 2017).
The Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007 addresses the phase out dates of various types of incandescent light bulbs that do not meet the new efficiency standards. Representative Nick Rahall of West Virginia, along with 198 cosponsors, introduced House Resolution 6, which became the EISA of 2007. The Resolution’s intent was to reduce energy consumption and promote national security by reducing dependence on foreign sources of energy. In the 310 page Resolution Title III – Energy Savings Through Improved Standards For Appliance and Lighting, Subtitle B – Lighting Energy Efficiency, Sec. 321 Efficient light bulbs pertains to the efficiency standards that new lamps/bulbs will be required to meet.
...also save energy by using motion censoring for doors and sinks. The dining rooms and foyers should have dim-able light switches. Another way to save a lot of energy is to make a master switch at the front door that turns off all lights. That way you never leave a light on when you aren't at home. You should use natural gas cook tops and ovens to cut down on electricity.
Philips’ major rival, Matsushita, started as a small electrical house-ware manufacturer in 1918. The company expanded rapidly and soon introduced a flood of new products.

These procedures and practices are used both by GM and by their vendors. The policies vary from layered inspections, statistics, process failure modes, effects analysis and control plans (Drew, 2011). All quality measures produce a graded system of quality management utilizing quality tools. An example of quality control test is that of speedy response wherever dilemmas are resolved quickly and immediately throughout visual management. Individuals responsible for specific tasks are kept accountable for some corrective actions that may subsist. What General Motors did was ignore this quality measurement when it was dealing with the problems of the Chevrolet

Energy Efficiency refers to the use of energy on the same level, performance, comfort, suitability. As the world progress through technologies, more energy is required to power the world through various sources. Society has reached a point of our civilization when electricity is used for all purposes and therefore our presence will be impossible without it. However increasing amount of energy used will lead to numerous social and economic problems. Electricity demand is increasing twice as fast as overall energy use and is likely to rise by more than two-thirds 2011 to 2035. In 2012, 42% of primary energy used was converted into electricity. In the near future, cities will need to become increasingly energy efficient to deal with them. There are three strategies to attain energy efficiency which have their benefits.
