Automation Theory Defined by Systems and Processes

More about the book

Automation systems play a crucial role in engineering by integrating the management of matter, energy, and information across various processes. These systems are essential for defining production workflows, where materials are processed, transported, and stored. The reliance on electrical energy for machine operation necessitates effective energy transformation, transportation, and storage. Additionally, computers control these machines, highlighting the importance of information flow, which requires processing, communication, and storage among the operating machines.
