1.3 Purpose of Industrial Automation

Automation and Process Control

 Production increase
 Cost reduction, mainly due to reduction
of human – related cost
 Improvement of the product’s quality
 Improvement of the raw material
utilization (reduced loss materials)
 Redution of energy consumption

1.5 Review Questions

1. Define the term “industrial system” from the automation point of view. Give
important considerations concerning either industrial equipment or its characteristic.
2. In your opinion, what is an automation system? Indicate the difference between an
automation system and automatic control system
3. What is purpose of using sensors is an industrial system? Explain the difference
between the information derived by sensors and that provided by indication devices
4. In your opinion, does the automation of an industrial production process increase or
decrease unemployment? Explain substantially
