us. Client satisfaction is top priority of every concerned member of the company,
employee and the process of every project. FOXICON ENGINEERING firmly
believes your project derseves nothing but best from us.
AUTOMATION INDUSTRY
Automation is the use of control systems and information technologies to reduce the
need for human work in the production of goods and services. In the scope
of industrialization, automation is a step beyond mechanization. Whereas
mechanization provided human operators with machinery to assist them with the
muscular requirements of work, automation greatly decreases the need for human
sensory and mental requirements as well. Automation plays an increasingly important
role in the world economy and in daily experience.
Automation has had a notable impact in a wide range of industries
beyond manufacturing (where it began). Once-ubiquitous telephone operators have
been replaced largely by automated telephone switchboards and answering machines.
Medical processes such as primary screening in electrocardiography or radiography
and laboratory analysis of human genes, sera, cells, and tissues are carried out at much
greater speed and accuracy by automated systems. Automated teller machines have
reduced the need for bank visits to obtain cash and carry out transactions. In general,
automation has been responsible for the shift in the world economy from industrial
jobs to service jobs in the 20th and 21st centuries.
AUTOMATED HIGHWAY SYSTEMS
Full automation commonly defined as requiring no control or very limited control by
the driver; such automation would be accomplished through a combination of sensor,
computer, and communications systems in vehicles and along the roadway. Fully
automated driving would, in theory, allow closer vehicle spacing and higher speeds,
which could enhance traffic capacity in places where additional road building is
physically impossible, politically unacceptable, or prohibitively expensive. Automated
controls also might enhance road safety by reducing the opportunity for driver error.
INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION
Industrial automation deals with the optimization of energy-efficient drive systems by
precise measurement and control technologies. Nowadays energy efficiency in
industrial processes are becoming more and more relevant. Semiconductor companies
like Infineon Technologies are offering 8-bit microcontroller applications for example
found in motor controls, general purpose pumps, fans, and bikes to reduce energy
consumption and thus increase efficiency. One of 8-bit product line found in industrial
automation is the XC800 family.
