Automation uses technology to perform tasks with minimal human intervention, enhancing efficiency. Robotics involves machines that can carry out complex tasks, often working alongside humans or independently. Industry 4.0 refers to the integration of digital technologies and automation to create smart factories. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning enable computers to analyze data and make decisions, improving processes. RPA automates repetitive digital tasks. Companies like Siemens, ABB, and Rockwell provide automation and control solutions. Factory Automation streamlines manufacturing, often using IoT (interconnected devices) for real-time data. Agile Manufacturing emphasizes flexibility. Tesla innovates in electric vehicles, while MIT advances technology research.
