Automation in the manufacturing industry is the process of integrating industrial
machinery to automatically perform tasks such as welding, material handling, packing, palletizing, dispensing, cutting, etc... Utilizing hardware and software automation increases productivity, safety and profitability. Automation brings many advantages when incorporated properly. Plating is a process in which an ionic metal is deposited onto a conductive surface to form a non-ionic coating. We perform many different types of electrodeposited plating and cleaning in General and Precious Metals Plating department, most of which are applied to aid in corrosion prevention, cosmetics, and function of different sorts of components. Many materials go through various processes in this department including steel, corrosion resistant steel, and aluminium. Although significant mechanical refinements continue to be made in surface finishing equipment, the most dramatic improvements in recent years have been made in control and monitoring systems. Advances in electronics and computer technology have provided a quantum leap that can enable surface finishers to improve process control and monitoring of their plating lines. This is implemented to improve their processes, meet increasingly stringent customer quality requirements, and boost their profitability.
