Define and Explain the Automated Factory

The general steps followed by any manufacturing practices are planning, processing, monitoring, controlling, inspection and dispatching.
All the steps included in conversion of raw material in to final finished product should be done with the integration of computer interface. An EVERSITY a free online manufacturing practices courses offer a grate emphasis on these matter of manufacturing.

Due to increasing the complexity and verity of product, the process and planning complexity in the manufacturing practices are also increase. In today’s automated factory all the things and steps for manufacturing the product are carried outed with the computer interface. Due to involvement of the computer / processor / intelligent system in each step of manufacturing practices, the human requirement is considerably decreases.

Also the inspection system in such a factory are call online inspection system. In which the inspection process is integrate with the manufacturing practices to form the close loop feedback control system, enabling the achievement of zero defect system.

Suppose a large factory manufacture a verity of product.

Each product has numbers of its own component which have to be uniquely defined in terms of geometry, material, and manufacturing process. So, the amount of information generated and managed in the plant will thus quite huge. Due to which today's automated factory require an information processing unit.
So, An automated factory is a one in which "All the planning, processing, monitoring, controlling and managing activities are followed with the interface of intelligent system".

An EVERSITY a free online manufacturing practice courses concentrate indirectly on the automation of today's manufacturing practices by the courses such as lean manufacturing, 5s, international standard organization, advance material handling etc.
