Review in Industrial Automation

Abstract

Automation or automatic control is the use of various control systems for operating equipment such as machinery, processes in factories, boilers , heat treating ovens, switching in telephone networks, steering and stabilization of ships, aircraft and other applications with minimal or reduced human intervention. The biggest benefit of automation is that it saves labour, save energy, materials and to improve quality, accuracy and precision. The wireless communication technologies are widely applied in the fields like Industrial Automation. Injection molding machines can fasten the molds in either a horizontal or vertical position. Wireless communication and smart sensors and actuators pose means to sustainably improve automation technology. To learn about Industrial Automation, a review process involving 2 stage approaches has been undertaken for 15 research papers which were published in the period of year 2000 to year 2013. After an exhaustive review process, four key issues were found " Controlling method of injection molding machine for new technologies, new trends in industrial Automation, Energy Storage in co-generation power plant & Wireless Data Transmission " which is mostly need to enhance of Industrial Automation aspects to get better solution approach. The outcome of the review was in the form of various findings, found under various key issues. The findings included algorithms and methodologies used to solve particular research problem, along with their strengths and weaknesses and the scope for the future work in the area.
