Automation and Intelligent System Assignment
- Ajith Srikanth (RA1811018010007) MHT A
1. Design of multi-level automation for a typical application?
2. Justify with an example how the new generation intelligent
manufacturing is used as a core technology of the new industrial
revolution?
Automation Systems have become a part of our life now. From Industry 1.0 to
Industry 4.0 we have progressed to intelligent machines and automating processes
reducing human interference.
• Industry 1.0 - The First Industrial Revolution was the transition to new
manufacturing processes using water and steam.
• Industry 2.0 - New technological systems were introduced, most notably
superior electrical technology which allowed for even greater production and
more sophisticated machines.
• Industry 3.0 - Involved the use of electronics and IT to further automation in
production. Manufacturing and automation advanced considerably thanks to
Internet access, connectivity and renewable energy.
• Industry 4.0 - The era of smart machines, storage systems and production
facilities that can autonomously exchange information, trigger actions and
control each other without human intervention.
• Industry 5.0 - Man and machine reconcile and find ways to work together to
improve the means and efficiency of production.
Some say this will surely result in the loss of the jobs but to the run the machines
and maintaining it also requires humans. Automation is distributed to different levels
namely:
Level 1 (Process Level) – Sensors, Actuators and Other hardware components
Level 2 (Control Level) – PLC, PC and PID based controllers
Level 3 (Management Level)– SCADA and HMI
Level 4 (Enterprise Level) – Analytics, Reporting, Dashboard and MES
