Automation
(87 346)Automation – as seen from the general perspective – is a field of study and engineering which concentrates on controlling various technological processes. Its aim is to gather and process information about a system and perform appropriate actions based on certain specific operation algorithms. Automation can be divided into a number of subcategories that are compatible with the field of application, i.e. industrial, household, transport automation, etc. Industrial automation is closely connected with the so-called “fourth industrial revolution” or Industry 4.0 whose idea is based on the automatization of production, but also assumes the creation of networks of dynamic, self-organised and intercommunicating processes, where a human is only a supervisor.
Industrial and household automation
Automation is not only limited to industrial automation systems. Managing production processes and machine parks is only one of the uses of these technologies. Household automation systems gain more and more popularity, and smart homes, with more and more controllable functions, are becoming a standard. Thanks to such solutions, we can e.g. control heating or security systems, lighting and electric systems and individual devices.
Automation at TME
Industrial automation components which are useful on each stage of designing and operating of the system can be found in the TME catalogue. They are adjusted to the requirements of different industries. At TME, you can choose from among over 6 thousand sensors and transducers used to measure various parameters, including temperature, magnetic field, gas/liquid pressure, humidity, mechanical pressure, tilt, gas level and other. Components used to regulate and control the work of systems, machines and production lines, including a wide range of controllers, regulators, transmitters, switches, signalling devices, recorders and building automation components, are also available. The role of actuators may be performed by electric motor units, which are also available in our catalogue. The automation segment at TME includes products from many well-known companies specializing in creating large, complex systems as well as production of single components. Among the manufacturers, you can find such brands as: Siemens, Panasonic, Honeywell, Baumer, Schneider Electric or ABB.
