Factory Automation
The factory automation industry is a broad discipline that is continuously evolving and mainly focuses on the branches of engineering such as machine design, construction, manufacturing of product and machines, product development, mechatronics, robotics, control and systems, and testing of plants, machines, and robots and operational processes of anything that moves. In our digitizing world automation plays a significant role in technology and the economy. Automation improves the quality of the products and maximizes production efficiency and productivity. Industrial automation solutions can help industries such as manufacturing, transportation, and logistics to monitor and control their industrial processes in order to maintain high quality, maximum machine utilization, and reduce overall costs. Factory automation faces new challenges such as digital transformation, Industrie 4.0, and predictive maintenance and can respond to these challenges and achieve boosts in productivity by improving, simplifying, and modernizing their processes.
