Industrial Applications

An automated production system is one in which a process is performed by a number of machines 

without the direct participation of a human worker. The whole automated system is built from 

smaller automated units suitably coordinated. Such smaller industrial applications of automation 

are presented in this chapter, most of which have the form of a project for development rather than 

the scope of a tutorial problem. Some industrial applications met outside a factory environment 

are also included. If the reader can create proper industrial automation solutions for all of all these 

projects, it means that he/she is ready to work as professional engineer in the field of industrial 

automation.
