OVERVIEW OF INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION TECHNOLOGY 

 

Dubak’s expertise means we can deliver the exact electrical automation solutions to fit your needs. Among the many forms of automation technology we can integrate into your operations include:  

 

• Programmable logic controllers (PLCs): These computers serve as the central brain of your automation system. They process the information received from operators and sensors and send instructions to the equipment. They’re also capable of communicating with other systems as well as human-machine interfaces to facilitate streamlined operations across multiple functionalities.  

• Sensors: A sensor collects sensory data such as temperature, light, sound and vibration for analysis and to guide automated systems. For example, a simple light sensor can be used to automatically halt a conveyor belt when an item reaches a station along the production line.  

• Actuators: If the PLC is the brain of automation, then actuators are the muscles. These devices convert energy into mechanical motion, serving as the means through which most automated machines perform their functions.  

• Robotics: A robot is the context of automation is any machine that performs a specific function. These include the arms used on an automotive assembly line to move body panels into place and weld them together.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS  

​ 

What is industrial automation? 

  

Any process or machinery that reduce the amount of work performed by human beings in an industrial setting constitutes automation. 

  

Why use automation? 

  

Implementing automated processes means lower labor costs, improved employee safety, more consistent quality and reduced lead times, among other benefits. 

  

Does automation mean human labor becomes obsolete? 

  

Although automated systems do take many repetitive and dangerous tasks out of human hands, they don’t completely replace people. Your employees will work side-by-side with these systems to increase efficiency and improve output. 

  

Can automation save money? 

  

Yes, because it can significantly reduce costly mistakes. Automated systems can perform the same task thousands of times without variation, meaning you don’t have to worry about human error leading to a recall or redundant efforts. 

  

What are the four types of industrial automation systems? 

  

• Fixed automation — These machines perform the same tasks repeatedly with no variation. 

• Programmable automation — These computer-controlled systems can be adjusted by changing the code sent to them. 

• Flexible automation — Used for batch processes where products change because it can automatically switch to new instructions. 

• Integrated automation — This refers to production processes that are almost entirely automated with minimal to no human input.
