Industrial Automation: How to Optimize Manufacturing Processes<\/h1>\n

The industrial automation of production processes that we have been witnessing for decades has grown strongly in recent years due to the fact that the technology and communications necessary have become cheaper and further developed.<\/p>\n

When a company decides to invest in automation, it does so by pursuing a series of goals which are clearly related to the competitive market in which they find themselves:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Improve manufacturing times.<\/li>\n
  2. Maintain a uniform level of quality over time.<\/li>\n
  3. Improve productivity.<\/li>\n
  4. Reduce costs.<\/li>\n
  5. Adapt production to the needs of the moment according to demand.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Oliver + Batlle<\/strong> works to automate your factory both at the specific machine or process level, or over the entire production plant. Our manufacturing equipment range features machinery with high automation levels. The most important are the CP process control systems that can be found on our grinding equipment, the comprehensive control systems in industrial agitators, the FLASH automatic filling machine range and the PAILMANAGER container dispenser range.<\/p>\n

    At the manufacturing plant project level, our engineering team works together with the Project Manager to design, develop and execute each element necessary to provide you with an optimal manufacturing plant or equipment.<\/p>\n

    What is industrial automation?<\/h2>\n

    Industrial automation can be defined as the application of technology to production processes, mainly on machinery control and monitoring, in order to perform repetitive tasks automatically with minimal human intervention.<\/p>\n

    Devices, computing and communications come together in automated systems in order to provide greater autonomy to industrial processes. The combination of these 3 factors, together with advances in production techniques and the development of intelligent technology has given rise to what many theorists have called Industry 4.0 or the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Control system automation, industrial robotics, machine learning, artificial intelligence, nanotechnology and the Internet of Things (IoT) are set to change traditional manufacturing processes.<\/p>\n

    In the manufacturing of paints, coatings, agrochemicals, plastisols, etc., a large number of process variables can be controlled through automation, such as:<\/p>\n
