Integrated automation systems incorporate the total manufacturing system into a computer-controlled, digitally processed and coordinated system.

​

Integrated automation systems work through a common manufacturing system database. This central automation control point makes it possible to integrate industrial and non-industrial processes and robot integration through automated production technologies. Integrated automation systems are used in computer integrated manufacturing and several types of advanced process automation systems.

​

A well-designed integrated automation system opens the door to implementing advanced technologies that could greatly increase efficiency and productivity across the entire manufacturing facility, including bringing together:

​

• Computer-Aided Process Planning (CAPP)

• Computer-controlled scheduling and production line control processes

• Manufacturing Execution System (MES) / Manufacturing IT integration

• Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and Distributed Control System programming

• Coordinated Drive systems and advanced Motion Control

• Production Process Test Systems and Process Monitoring Sensors

• Part validation and Vision Inspection Systems

• Industrial Energy Management systems

• Automated material handling systems

• Automated retrieval and storage systems

• RFID and Bar Code part tracking systems
