How are you handling the complexity of Automation?

  • Comments 2

As we all know equipment is getting smarter and smarter and more and more difficulty to truly understand how to troubleshoot and solve problems. With the recent disasters at several of manufacturing locations, the commuter trains?

Would love to hear your feedback.

  • There is tremendous room for integfrating automatic devices using new technology.  As an Inventor, not  day goes by when I could get Intellectual property to do what computers can do in replacement to the human attention factor.  One of the difficulties goes back to the earliest applications.  The sytem user and the system designer have to have a true understanding of each others role.  When one tries to do the others job, is when you get the garbage we have today.  The responsibility for system design can never be left to the automation company.  More importantly do not do what is not necessary.  You will never get what you pay for.  Also, do not monitor the automatic too frequently. Let the automatic do what it does best with casual monitoring just to see that it is still doing it. Lear the difference between micro mangaing and monitoring.  More if interested.

  • Wow! Thanks for sharing. Does anyone else have anything to this conversation?
