What is Automation? A Complete Overview
Types of Automation Systems
Automation systems come in various forms, each suited to specific operational needs. Fixed automation is ideal for high-volume production with repetitive tasks. Programmable automation offers flexibility for batch processes and quick reconfiguration. Flexible automation allows for easy changes in product design without major setup changes, making it ideal for custom or low-volume manufacturing.
