Automation Technology for Food Processing and Manufacture Industrial manufacturing technology is constantly changing. In the 1700's, we first really saw the concept of "specialization of labor" in which an individual specialized in one aspect of an item's production. With the Industrial Revolution the 1800's, people began using machines to do their work for them. Through the 1900's to today, we are seeing electronics make even more sophisticated machines possible. It seems with each new
globalization. Swift developments in technology, increasing affordability and awareness have made manufacturing field a prime candidature for automation. High level of automation may not be necessary at all the places. However, It is a lovely scene to watch robot assembling the wind shield on cars one after the other with out breaks, an enclosed sophisticated caged automation producing medical vials at extremely high output rates, a line of engine assembly producing engines after engines with envied precision
creative jobs, though a very small portion of the labor force, are replaceable by bots. An example of this is Emily Howell, a music composing program written by David Cope, that is capable of writing music indistinguishable to music written by humans. Automation isn 't about working together with humans, it doesn 't provide more jobs, it just completely removes the necessity of the human all together. A perfect example of this in history is the horse. For literally thousands of years we employed horses
its first use in human subjects and continues through the shelf life of the product (Velagaleti, Burns & Gill, 2003). Automation is one of the tools being used by the industry to minimize costs while complying with these regulations. In the beginning the Food and Drug Administration, FDA, government agency that regulates the industry, was very concerned on the effect that automation and cost reduction could have on the final product.

Industrial Robots and Manufacturing Automation Abstract Automation started out as an assembly line of workers doing the same repetitive task all day long. Some of the jobs were very boring, dirty, unpleasant, and possibly dangerous. After the introduction of the first robot in 1961, automation began to advance in ways people could only imagine. Each of the six basic styles of robot used in industry today were designed with different applications in mind. Some of the robots were designed
An aspect, that has long since been addressed in design theory, which is how the office automation has impacted on the structure of organisation, now found its way into the social and cultural theory.

CHAPTER 1INTRODUCTION 1.1 PROJECT DEFINITION Advances in technology over the past decades have enabled the rapid evolution of industrial process that support an increasingly large portion of the modern society way of life. The main goal of these standards is to clarify the requirements for different applications and systems, in order to elevate their safety to an acceptable level. A Safety Control System (SCS) consists of an engineered set of hardware and software controls which are especially
To continuously monitor and control the different sections of the plant in order to ensure its appropriate operation leads to the use of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems. A SCADA system normally supports communication between a central control unit and multiple remote units equipped with sensors, actuators, and/or Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). SCADA systems were first designed to meet the basic requirements of process control systems where
Brief History of Library Automation: 1930-1996 An automated library is one where a computer system is used to manage one or several of the library's key functions such as acquisitions, serials control, cataloging, circulation and the public access catalog. When exploring the history of library automation, it is possible to return to past centuries when visionaries well before the computer age created devices to assist with their book lending systems. Even as far back as 1588, the invention of the
training is required for a person to operate the subject automatic equipment. For example: Earth excavator, Sewing machine, concrete mixer, Computer, Typewriter, Food processor, photo copying, machine tools etc. Difference between mechanization and Automation- Mechanization can be defined as using some form of machine comprising various mechanical elements arranged in a designed manner to perform certain function to produce desired effect.
