 What is Automation
Automation is the technology by which a process or procedure is
performed with minimal human assistance.]Automation or
automatic control is the use of various control systems for
operating equipment such as machinery, processes in factories,
boilers and heat treating ovens, switching on telephone
networks, steering and stabilization of ships, aircraft and other
applications and vehicles with minimal or reduced human
intervention.
 ADVANTAGES
The main advantages of automation are:
Increased throughput or productivity.
Improved quality or increased predictability of quality.
Improved robustness (consistency), of processes or product.
Increased consistency of output.
Reduced direct human labor costs and expenses.
Installation in operations reduces cycle time.
 DISADVANTAGES
Possible security threats/vulnerability due to increased relative
susceptibility for committing errors.
Unpredictable or excessive development costs.
High initial cost.
Displaces workers due to job replacement.
Examples of
automation

AIRCRAFT
AUTOMATION IN
AIRCRAFT

1 . Auto pilot
2 . ILS(INSUTRUMENTAL
LANDING APPROACH)
ILS IN AIRCRAFT
ILS in the technology of auto
landing without pilot
intervention.
The pilot just needs to press
the ILS button and speed
bteakes.
The localisers on the runway
will help the plane
automatically allign it
through the runway with the
beal of lights that is throws
on the plane.
The aircraft will catch the
light and automatically align
it through the runway.
 IMPACT ON SOCIETY
Increased automation often cause workers to
feel anxious about losing their jobs as
technology renders their skills or experience
unnecessary.
Recent and emerging
applications
 Automated power production
Technologies like solar panels, wind turbines,
and other renewable energy sources,
together with smart grids,micro-grids, battery
storage - can automate power production.
 Automated retail
Food and drink
Main article: Automated restaurant
The food retail industry has started to apply automation to the
ordering process; McDonald's has introduced touch screen
ordering and payment systems in many of its restaurants,
reducing the need for as many cashier employees.
