Different types of industrial automation systems currently most used by companies in their manufacturing and production processes. Industrial automation systems are usually classified into four types:
fixed automation system
programmable automation system
flexible automation system
Integrated Automation System
Fixed Automation System
Fixed automation systems are special pieces of equipment used to streamline specific processes. In fixed automation, it is nearly impossible to facilitate product design modifications. Industries that have to produce stable and sustainable product designs over a long period of time opt for fixed automated systems.
Programmable Automation System
This type of technology is used to manufacture products in batches. A production system has to be programmed several times to get a new batch of products with different specifications.
Programmable automated devices are designed to facilitate product changeover. However, the process of reprogramming a production machine is time consuming.
flexible automation system
It is a more sophisticated and refined form of programmable automation. Its difference is that flexible automation allows equipment to be changed automatically and quickly. A mix of different products can be produced consistently without wasting time.
Integrated Automation System
An Integrated Automation System is a set of independent machines, processes and data, which work synchronously under the command of a single control system to implement an automation system for a production process: CAD (Computer Aided Design), CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing), computer controlled tools and machines, robots, cranes and conveyor belts can be integrated with each other using production programming and control.
