3.Development of History of Automation

4.Automated manufacturing         
Automated manufacturing refers to the application of automation to produce things in the factory way.
Automation can be defined as the technology by which a process or procedure is performed without human assistance, humans may be present, but the process itself operates under is own self-direction
 The main advantages of automated manufacturing are higher consistency and quality, reduced lead times, simplified production, reduced handling, improved work flow, and increased worker morale when a good implementation of the automation is made.

5.Goals of Automation   
To improve productivity by reducing manufacturing costs through better control of production. Parts are loaded, fed, and unloaded on machines more efficiently, machines are used more effectively, and production is organized more efficiently.
To improve quality by employing more repeatable processes;
To reduce human involvement, boredom, and the possibility of human error.
To reduce work piece damage caused by manual handling of parts.
To raise the level of safety for personnel, especially under hazardous working conditions.
To economize on floor space in the manufacturing plant by arranging machines, material movement, and auxiliary equipment more efficiently.

6.Automated System
Examples:
Automated machine tools
Automated assembly systems
Industrial robots
Automated material handling and storage systems
Automatic inspection systems for quality control

7.Three Basic Types of Automation
Fixed automation - the processing or assembly steps and their sequence are fixed by the equipment configuration
Programmable automation - equipment is designed with the capability to change the program of instructions to allow production of different parts or products
Flexible automation - an extension of programmable automation in which there is virtually no lost production time for setup changes or reprogramming

8.Three Automation Types

9.Fixed Automation
Typical features:
Suited to high production quantities
High initial investment for equipment
High production rates
Relatively inflexible in product variety
Fixed automation is difficult to change.
It is used for continues flow manufacturing

10.Programmable Automation
Typical features:
High investment in programmable equipment
Lower production rates than fixed automation
Flexibility to deal with variations and changes in product configuration
Most suitable for batch production
Physical setup and part program must be changed between jobs (batches)
NC , Robot are example of  programmable automation.
