Types of Automation
Fixed automation
• custom-engineered, special-purpose equipment to automate a fixed
sequence of operations
 high production rates, inflexible product design

Programmable automation
• equipment designed to accommodate a specific class of product
changes
 batch production, medium volume

Flexible automation
• designed to manufacture a variety of products or parts
