Automation is not a new concept and has been used for many years to help businesses improve efficiency, reduce human error, and increase production. Examples of early automation include the printing press, sewing machine, and assembly line for cars. Today, with advancements in technology, such as Robotic Process Automation, more tasks can be automated using digital bots within a company. As automation continues to evolve, it is becoming an increasingly important aspect of business operations.…

We’ve all heard of the promises of a potential fusion energy breakthrough and what it could mean for us in terms of clean, near-limitless power; however, concepts of how we can revolutionize and renew our current infrastructure aren’t too common at all. Recent developments in fusion research have left many engineers speculating about how far we can go with this technology and its possible ramifications – from revolutionizing robots and factories to opening up new…

Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs) are used to improve industrial automation processes by providing a visual interface for operators to interact with and monitor the automated system. HMIs can be used to display real-time process data, control system parameters, and issue commands to the automated system. One of the main benefits of using an HMI in industrial automation processes is that it allows operators to easily monitor and control the system without having to understand the underlying…

In the world of industrial automation, control systems play a crucial role in ensuring the smooth operation of manufacturing processes and equipment. These systems are responsible for monitoring and controlling various aspects of the production process, including the movement of materials, the operation of machinery, and the quality of the final product. Traditionally, these control systems were implemented using programmable logic controllers (PLCs), which are specialized computers that are designed to handle the complex logic…

Industrial Automation Overview Industrial Automation is the use of digital control systems, robotics, and information technologies to control different processes and machinery in an industrial environment to replace human involvement in performing certain functions. These functions primarily focus on material handling, manufacturing, and quality control processes. Concisely, industrial automation makes use of logical programming commands and powerful computer-controlled machinery such as CNC machines to replace human workers on factory floors. At the core of industrial…

What is a Solar Farm? Solar farms, also sometimes referred to as solar parks, are large-scale, ground-mounted installations of massive arrays of Photovoltaic (PV) panels or other means of converting sunlight into solar energy, which is then routed to a utility’s power grid. They are simply solar power stations that operate just like other electricity-generating plants such as fossil-powered or natural gas power plants. But unlike traditional power plants, solar farms don’t produce any sort…
