What Is Automation?

Automation is a set of technologies that enables machines and processes to operate automatically without human intervention. Modern automation systems integrated with IoT and AI can make intelligent decisions and adapt to changing conditions.

How Does Automation Work?

Automation systems typically consist of sensors (input), controllers (decision), and actuators (output) components. Sensors collect environmental data, PLCs or IoT controllers make decisions based on programmed logic, and actuators (motors, valves, relays) execute these decisions. In modern systems, remote monitoring and control via IoT connectivity and advanced analytics through cloud integration are possible.
