Role of Automation in Biscuit Production :

What is AutomationIt means deligation of human controlled function to technical equipments.Its main aims are:

To increase production To reduce cost To reduce unskilled man power To improve working conditions To reduce power consumption To improve quality

Why Automation ?

To achieve more with less Elimination of human error Cleaner technology Consistency in production Minimisation of energy consumption Easy diagnosis of faults

Effect of Automation

Increased production due to reduced manual delays. Improved productivity as a result of optimum efficiency of the machine. Avoiding reprocessing and improving the productivity. Improved power saving and hence reduced product cost Improved quality of product and hence productivity. Automation can give useful data of the machines which increases the possibility of analyzing the cause of low or poor productivity.

Requirement of Automation

PLC Sensors Actuators Drives SCADA Networking
