INTRODUCTION TO AUTOMATION
UNIT- 1

AMS/RHK/MECH/SMVEC 7
 PRODUCTION SYSTEM
A collection of people, equipment, and procedures organized to
accomplish the manufacturing operations of a company

Two categories:
• Facilities– the factory and equipment in the facility and the way the
facility is organized (plant layout)
• Manufacturing support systems–the set of procedures used by accompany
to manage production and to solve technical and logistics problems in
ordering materials, moving work through the factory, and ensuring that
products meet quality standards

PRODUCTION SYSTEM

AMS/RHK/MECH/SMVEC 9
 PRODUCTION SYSTEM FACILITIES
Facilities include the factory, production machines and tooling, material
handling equipment, inspection equipment, and computer systems that control
the manufacturing operations
 Plant layout–the way the equipment is physically arranged in the factory
 Manufacturing systems–logical groupings of equipment and workers in the
factory
 Production line
 Stand-alone workstation and worker

AMS/RHK/MECH/SMVEC 10
Types of Production Systems
• Continuous flow process- eg. Oil Refineries, Iron and
Steel Plants, Cement and Chemical Plants
• Mass Manufacturing of Discrete Products- eg. Appliances,
Automobiles
• Batch Production- Pharmaceuticals, Casting Foundries,
Plastic moulding, Printing etc
• Job shop Production- eg. Prototype, MC tools etc

 MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS
Three categories in terms of the human participation in the
processes performed by the manufacturing system:
 Manual work systems -a worker performing one or more tasks
without the aid of powered tools, but sometimes using hand tools
 Worker-machine systems- a worker operating a powered equipment
 Automated systems -a process performed by machine without direct
participation of a human

 Manufacturing Support Systems
Manufacturing support involves a cycle of information-processing activities.
The information-processing cycle consisting of four functions:
(1) business functions,
(2) product design,
(3) manufacturing planning. and
(4) manufacturing control.

AUTOMATION IN PRODUCTION SYSTEMS

Two categories of automation in the production

system:
1. Automation of manufacturing systems in the factory
2. Computerization of the support systems systems
The two categories overlap because manufacturing support systems are
manufacturing support systems are manufacturing support systems are
connected to the factory manufacturing systems
• Computer-Integrated Manufacturing (CIM)

 AUTOMATED MANUFACTURING
SYSTEMS
Examples:
Automated machine tools
Transfer lines
Automated assembly systems
Industrial robots that perform processing or assembly
operations
Automated material handling and storage systems to
integrate manufacturing operations
Automatic inspection systems for quality control

AMS/RHK/MECH/SMVEC 31
Types of Automation Systems
• Fixed Automation
• Programmable Automation
• Flexible Automation
• Integrated Automation
