Applying Automation control system into Your Industry

Automation control system refers to control industrial processes by computers. In other words, this system is a step ahead of mechanization. Mechanization requires manual operators for the machines to improve efficiency. But in the industrial control panel, it is the system itself that manages to facilitate the work and processes of any industry or organization. It reduces the need for manual assistance. The requirement of the human spirit and the mind is less stressed in the control system automation.

In today’s global economy, the control system automation would play a very important role. The automation engineers create a system that combining the tools of automation organization devices. Industrial control system makes possible a number of human activities and applications. But control of automation has not become widespread. Those jobs still need manual expertise. Computers play the main role in the control of automation. There are several levels of calculations according to their effectiveness. To facilitate control of automation, computers are designed to allow synchronization between input and out. It results in a controlled mechanism for an industrial process. These enhanced forms of computers are known as programmable logic controllers.

To be precise control of the automation uses the computer interface or human-machine interface. It will communicate with programmable logic controllers and a few other computers that perform specialized functions in various industrial processes. The main purpose of this system today is to improve product quality. Automation such as temperature control system is also increasingly applied to increase the flexibility of the manufacturing process. But there is dark side of the automation system is although this reduces the risk of human error, reducing the need for manual labor, but a greater dependency has increased the risk of more serious consequences and more serious in the factory system. Look from all of these, human is still number one to take controls in industrial processes.

It’s a power in the cloud super weekend!

First the BusinessWeek cover story yesterday. Then the NYT today, in a report on MS vs. Google by By Steve Lohr and Miguel Helft.

It includes this gem from Eric Schmidt, when asked if Google thinks 90 percent of computing will eventually reside in the cloud:

“In our view, yes,” [CEO Eric] Schmidt says. “It’s a 90-10 thing.” Inside the cloud resides “almost everything you do in a company, almost everything a knowledge worker does.”

As Dave Girouard, the general manager of Google’s enterprise business, says: “If you’re creating a complex document like an annual report, you want Word, and if you’re making a sophisticated financial model, you want Excel. That’s what the Microsoft products are great at. But less and less work is like that.”
