PRESENTATION ON-

AUTOMATION IN
PRODUCTION LINE

PRESENTED BY
Pranav Teli.
 Introduction

• Automation can be defined as a technology concerned with the

application of electronics,mechanical & computer-based control
systems to operate and control the production.

• To perform a task without human intervation to improve the

productivity & quality

• CNC,PLC,Automated guided vehicle,robots

 history

1.Manual control
2.Pneumatic control
3.Hard wire logic control
4.Electronic control using gate
5.PLC
 Reasons for automation

1. To increase labor productivity

2. To reduce labor cost
3. To improve worker safety
4. To improve product quality
5. To reduce manufacturing lead time
6. To accomplish processes that cant be done manually
Control Systems
Sensors and Actuators
Automated Machine Tools
Industrial Robotics
Logic Controllers
Handling Systems
Storage Systems
Identification Systems
Manufacturing Cells
Assembly Lines
Flexible Manufacturing Systems

• Linear transfer systems:
Continuous motion –not common for automated systems
Synchronous motion –intermittent motion, all parts move
simultaneously
Asynchronous motion –intermittent motion, parts move
independently

• Rotary indexing mechanisms:

Geneva mechanism
Others
 advantages

• Accurate & consistent information

• Faster fault identification
• Increased production
• Improved availability of system
• Reduced cost
• Maintenance of quality & quantity
• Improved safety conditions
 disadvantages

• Technology limits:current technology is unable to

automate all the desired tasks

• Unpredictable development cost

• High initial cost
