Part A
What is automation?
Answer
Automation is the technology by which a process or procedure is accomplished without human assistance. It involves the use of control systems, such as computers or robots, and information technologies to handle different processes and machinery in an industry to replace a human being.
Define flexible automation.
Answer
Flexible automation is an extension of programmable automation that minimizes the time lost due to changeovers between products. It allows for the production of a variety of parts with virtually no time lost for reprogramming the system or changing physical setups, enabling the manufacturing of different product mixes in a single system.
