🏭 What is Industrial Automation?

Industrial Automation is the use of machines, computers, and control systems to monitor and control industrial processes automatically.

It is widely used in industries to make operations faster, safer, more accurate, and more efficient, reducing human involvement in repetitive or hazardous tasks.

⚙️ Key Components of Industrial Automation

1. Controllers

Controllers such as PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) and DCS (Distributed Control Systems) process signals from sensors and make logical decisions to control operations.

2. Instruments

Instruments are used to measure, operate, and control industrial processes.

They provide vital information about physical conditions such as temperature, pressure, level, and flow, ensuring smooth and safe plant operation.

🚀 Benefits of Industrial Automation

✅ Increases productivity and efficiency
