Automation

1 Read these 5 reasons for automation:

a______________________________
Automation of factory or manufacturing or process plant improves production
rate through a better control of production. It helps to produce mass
production by drastically reducing assembly time per product with a greater
production quality. Therefore, for a given labor input it produces a large
amount of output.
b ______________________________
Integration of various processes in industry with automated machineries,
minimizes cycle times and effort and hence the need of human labor gets
reduced. Thus the investment on employees has been saved with automation.

c ______________________________
Since the automation reduces the human involvement, the possibility of human
errors also gets eliminated. Uniformity and product quality with a greater
conformity can be maintained with automation by adaptively controlling and
monitoring the industrial processes in all stages right from inception of a
product to an end product.

d________________________________
Automation completely reduces the need for manual checking of various
process parameters. By taking advantage of automation technologies,
industrial processes automatically adjusts process variables to set or desired
values using closed loop control techniques.

e _________________________________
Industrial automation increases the level of safety to personnel by substituting
them with automated machines in hazardous working conditions.
Traditionally, industrial robots and robotic devices are implemented in such
risky and hazardous places.

2 Read again and choose the correct heading for each paragraph:
To improve product quality
To reduce routine checks
To raise the level of safety
To increase productivity
To provide optimum cost of operation
