There are many kinds of automation equipment. Any equipment that uses the actions of machines instead of human actions to complete the processing, assembly and testing of products belongs to automation equipment. Such as automatic packaging machinery, automatic labeling machine, automatic threading machine, automatic winding machine and so on.
The object of automation has become a large and complex engineering and non-engineering system, which involves many problems that are difficult to solve with modern control theory. The research of these problems has promoted the innovation of automation theory, methods and means.
Therefore, systematic control of large-scale systems and intelligent control of complex systems have emerged, and advanced automation systems have emerged, such as flexible manufacturing systems, office automation, intelligent robots, expert systems, decision support systems and computer integrated manufacturing systems.
Extended data:
The process in which a machine or equipment is automatically operated or controlled according to a specified program or instruction, without human intervention, with the goal of "stability, accuracy and rapidity". Automation technology is widely used in industry, agriculture, military, scientific research, transportation, commerce, medical care, service and family.
Using automation technology can not only liberate people from heavy physical labor, part of mental labor and bad and dangerous working environment, but also expand the functions of human organs, greatly improve labor productivity and enhance human ability to understand and transform the world. Automation equipment can not only make enterprises better control expenditure budget, but also improve work efficiency.
