Industrial automation : ウィキペディア英語版 | Automation
Automation or ''automatic control'', is the use of various control systems for operating equipment such as machinery, processes in factories, boilers and heat treating ovens, switching on telephone networks, steering and stabilization of ships, aircraft and other applications with minimal or reduced human intervention. Some processes have been completely automated. The biggest benefit of automation is that it saves labor, however, it is also used to save energy and materials and to improve quality, accuracy and precision. The term ''automation'', inspired by the earlier word ''automatic'' (coming from ''automaton''), was not widely used before 1947, when General Motors established the automation department. It was during this time that industry was rapidly adopting feedback controllers, which were introduced in the 1930s. Automation has been achieved by various means including mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical, electronic devices and computers, usually in combination. Complicated systems, such as modern factories, airplanes and ships typically use all these combined techniques. ==Types of automation== (詳細はウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Automation」の詳細全文を読む
