Various Automation Systems Used in Cement, Agriculture, Textile and Construction Industries

Automation systems help take better decisions in real time with optimized planning of activities.

The control systems that monitor various processes and machinery conditions in cement plants are Distributed Control Systems(DCS), Programmable Logic Controllers(PLC). In addition to this, hybrid DCS and PLC systems are helpful to regulate the sequential control but require high cost for maintenance and the operators should be trained thoroughly to operate them.

Automation tools are used in agricultural systems to improve the productivity of agriculture that makes the process more flexible and faster. The automation tools are used to automate different agricultural methods like deep irrigation, horticulture and also to provide resources in agricultural fields like supplying of water and oxygen.

Automation in textile industry is growing. Computer Integrated Manufacturing and Flexible Manufacturing Systems are the dominant production tools in textile and clothing industries during the year 1990.

Automation in construction is the use of information systems to record the data on different aspects such as design, construction procedures like pipe fitting, electricity etc. and also to maintain the constructed facilities.
