This course introduces the students to the concepts of automated systems and the integration of various control systems and devices. It presents an overall perspective on what an automated system consists of and incorporates various monitoring and control devices and equipment. The course advances topics introduced in earlier control systems or automation courses. Concepts learned in this class will be applied in the final project. This project will investigate the impact of the different components of an automated cell on performance measures such as cycle time and production rate.
