Factory Automation

Factory Automation

With automation or automatic control, organizations can perform processes with little to no human assistance. Automation controls equipment and completes processes for a large range of objects and manufacturing environments around the globe. Automation can increase efficiency, quality, and effectiveness. In addition, it is often all but invisible to the average user.

Important Factors for IoT devices typically involve information that can positively contribute to safety, quality, and time efficiency. Factory automation can create the products customers want, as well as generate better wages and more choices for employees.

Types of Factory Automation System

  Computer-Integrated Manufacturing (CIM)

  Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS)

  Programmable

  Rigid, Hard, or Fixed

Industry 4.0

Industry 4.0 is the next phase in factory automation, connecting up the equipment on the factory floor as part of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Being able to monitor and control the equipment from the cloud adds intelligence to the process without having to update the equipment. New equipment such as industrial robots can be added to the production facilities to enhance the efficiency of the process control. STMicroelectronics can help you make Industry 4.0 and Smart Industry a reality, today. Data from all the equipment, including robots, is collected and delivered to a database in the cloud for processing. This can provide a higher level of supervisory control via a data dashboard with a real-time display of the performance of the factory automation system, with alarms triggered if thresholds are exceeded.
