With development of mechanical and electronic technology, mechanical automation technology plays an important role in many areas. Because of high demand for food safety, mechanical automation technology in food factory is used widely. But there still is gap with advanced countries, mainly in automation software design. Through designing the automation monitoring system of food packaging product...

This paper investigates the evolution of the automation process of modelling in the context of enterprise information systems. An evolution schema for modelling automation based on the dimensions “process”, “artefacts” and “technology” is introduced. Modelling currently experiences a similar evolution of automation such as other disciplines, like architecture, automotive, and trade have done in...

Industrial Automation has evolved from stand-alone, hard-wired relay panels to a contemporary, networked system that supports flexible manufacturing and enterprise integration. From precision control of machines and robots on the factory floor to flexible coordination of multiple cells of automation, advancements in control technologies have driven the evolution of industrial automation. The co...

Historically, the trend toward automation in clinical pathology laboratories has largely bypassed the clinical microbiology laboratory. In this article, we review the historical impediments to automation in the microbiology laboratory and offer insight into the reasons why we believe that we are on the cusp of a dramatic change that will sweep a wave of automation into clinical microbiology lab...

Automation technology is an integral part of chemical plants since the beginning of industrial chemistry. The evolution of process automation has been driven by the specific requirements of process industry and by the innovation cycles of instrumentation technology and control theory. Chemical production plants are still a fruitful and inspiring application field of automation with an enormous ...

Automation is the use of management systems and information technology to manage equipment, industrial machinery and processes, reducing the necessity for human intervention. Within the scope of industrial enterprise, automation may be a step beyond mechanization. Home automation is use of one or additional computers to manage basic home functions and options automatically and generally remotel...

Supervisory control of multiple autonomous vehicles raises many issues concerning the balance of system autonomy with human interaction for optimal operator situation awareness and system performance. An unmanned vehicle simulation designed to manipulate the application of automation was used to evaluate participants’ performance on image analysis tasks under two automation control schemes: ada...

This paper presents an integrated approach to testing automation of telecommunication projects along with proposals to automation of conformance testing. The underlying idea is to benefit from combining formal verification and testing automation techniques in order to improve product quality.
