Automation

Automation is set of many technologies like electronics, Electrical, mechanical, Softwares which results automated task or work without any human intervention with great efficiency and reliability. Robotics Process automation, PLC Scada Automation, Industrial Automation , IT automation all are different types of automation.

Artificial intelligence

It is the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. Specific applications of AI include expert systems, natural language processing, speech recognition and machine vision.

Mehchanical and Automation

It covers the concepts and processes that are involved in the creation and production of machinery.Person can learn about the theories, mechanics, and materials needed for the manufacturing of a machine.It enhances the understanding of control systems, information technology, machinery structures aelectronics, thermal science, programming, and electrical machinery.

Automation and Industrial Electronics

which is based on learning by acquiring competences and applied by giving great importance to active activities, especially when developing integrated team projects and work placements which represent significant learning opportunities and the the training necessary for the application of electronic and microelectronic devices to the automation of production processes, working with microprocessors, electronic instruments, automatons and robots, etc.

Automation and Robotics

It deals with the design and creation of robots. They use computers to manipulate and process robotic actions. These robots are then used in: -Industries to speed up the manufacturing process. -The field of nuclear science. -Servicing and transmission of electric signals -Designing of bio-medical equipment, sea-exploration, among others.

What is the difference between "Industry" and "Factory" ?

The terms factory and industry are used interchangeably, but the meaning of these words are not the same. In fact, industry refers to the production of economic goods. These goods can be materials, products or services. A factory, on the other hand, is the actual location where the materials or products are produced or created.

INDUSTRY :-

Industry is the production of an economic good or service within an economy.Manufacturing industry became a key sector of production and labour in European and North American countries during the Industrial Revolution, upsetting previous mercantile and feudal economies. This occurred through many successive rapid advances in technology, such as the production of steel and coal. Following the Industrial Revolution, perhaps a third of the world's economic output is derived from manufacturing industries. Many developed countries and many developing/semi-developed countries (People's Republic of China, India etc.) depend significantly on industry. Industries, the countries they reside in, and the economies of those countries are interlinked in a complex web of interdependence.

FACTORY :-


A factory (previously manufactory) or manufacturing plant is an industrial site, usually consisting of buildings and machinery, or more commonly a complex having several buildings, where workers manufacture goods or operate machines processing one product into another.Factories may either make discrete products or some type of material continuously produced such as chemicals, pulp and paper, or refined oil products.

 In short :-
 1. ‘Industry’ is the production of economic goods and services while ‘factory’ is a place where goods are produced or manufactured.
2. Both are involved in the economic process but an industry is broader in scope while a factory is not.
