The term "INDUSTRY 4.0" or "fourth industrial revolution" was first introduced at the fair in 2011 in Hannover. It comes from the high-tech strategy of the German Federal Government that promotes automation-computerization to complete smart automation, meaning the introduction of a method of self-automation, self-configuration, self-diagnosing and fixing the problem, knowledge and intelligent d...


 The number of industries in a certain region is increasing year by due to the needs people, and therefore intelligent industrialization automation can be used. Here air quality industry products manufactured are monitored using gas detectors (to detect toxic or gases) IR sensors count manufactured) where there no need for labor.

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...

Often, industrial automation software is a single monolithic program that must handle all aspects of control, data gathering, architecture, and reporting. Design of such software is time consuming and error prone. Furthermore, maintenance or modifications to the code is difficult and can “break” other functions. A more powerful approach is to use the multiprocessing capabilities of Windows95 a...

Automation or automatic control is the use of various control systems for operating equipment such as machinery, processes in factories, boilers , heat treating ovens, switching in telephone networks, steering and stabilization of ships, aircraft and other applications with minimal or reduced human intervention. The biggest benefit of automation is that it saves labour, save energy, materials a...

The paper highlights Quality related Costs and how the costs can be extracted from an industry’s manufacturing and financial records. The level of automation of industrial manufacturing systems was measured and interfaced with quality-related cost. The significance of the relationship between the two important industrial parameters was evaluated. The results indicate that quality related costs ...
