Which technology is used to automate tasks in manufacturing?
The technology used to automate tasks in manufacturing is known as industrial automation. This encompasses the use of various control systems, including programmable logic controllers (PLCs), robotics, and computer systems to operate machinery and processes with minimal human intervention. Industrial automation streamlines production, enhances efficiency, and improves product quality by reducing errors and enabling precise control over manufacturing operations. Technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT) devices are also increasingly integrated into automation systems, allowing for real-time monitoring and data collection to optimize processes and maintenance.
