Understanding Work Flow For Industrial and Building Automation Courses

Process work flow of Automation Industry:-

Process flow of all the automation industry are same as described below:-

1.Requirements: - There are different requirements of automated systems according to the need of clients and industry. It may be used in Manufacturing industry, Assembling, Load Distribution automated systems, Automated timing control circuits such as conveyor belts, speed and process controllers etc. A programmable logic controller(PLC's) can be programmed and assembled according to specific application of work, such IC's are also known as ASIC's(Application specific integrated circuits). Before assembling any controller device it should be checked and tested to fulfill the norms and the requirements of the work.

2.Design: - Designers have to design the circuits as per the requirements; the design should be compact and power efficient. The designer should keep in mind the place where automated systems have to be installed and design it accordingly. It needs embedded/Chip level programming, simulating and testing before the implementation.

3.Implementation: - Implementation comes after successful designing and approved work process of the automated systems. The designer/Assembler can only implement/ Install/ Assemble the system after taking approval from the client were the systems has to be delivered.

4.Verification: - After the installation of the automated system, it should be checked and verified, after the complete installation it should be explained to the clients and taking their 100% assurance for satisfaction. It should be noted that automated machine parts need continuous supervision, testing, commissioning and repaired whenever needed.

5.Maintenance: - Maintaining the overall efficiency of any automated industry requires health checkup and maintenance of machinery at regular intervals of time, updating the systems according to the latest technology will greatly increase the overall efficiency.

As the requirements of quality output is increasing, need of automated systems are increasing day by day, there are many advantages for the firms to choose automated systems as compared to manuals are as follows:-

1.Increased productivity with less labor required
2.Increased Consistency and reliability
3.Increased accuracy and precision
4.High volume production
5.Safer
6.Energy efficient
7.Reduced downtime
8.Improved quality
9.Accountable and easy to handle

The only drawbacks of automated systems are high initial installation costs, if we look for long term basis than it is more beneficial and cost effective.

For smooth work flow in Automation industries there are some key points:-

1.Incorporation of new technologies, theories and methods to develop the present industrial process
2.Optimizing the objectives to be delivered
3.Research on complex industrial process
4.Coordination between the team members
5.Creative team members
6.Understanding and delivering outputs according to business process
7.Proper data management
8.Process continuity and Disaster recovery
9.Deep process analysis
10.Programming and configuring the tools
11.Reporting to the superior
12.Security and safety measures

In any industrial environment the above mentioned key points should be kept in mind while working. Process flow of every industry may vary according to the need and process implemented, But the basic process flow will remain same.
