When we think of industrial automation systems, we usually picture huge control center rooms overseeing a vast field of robots hulking over a massive network of conveyor belts. While that would be a dream come true for many engineers out there, the truth is that most industrial automation systems are small but clever ways to give workers and companies the ability to do more in less time. Before we dive into the benefits of industrial automation systems , we first need to define the term. What Are Industrial Automation Systems? Industrial automation means using tools to help workers perform tasks that were previously done manually. When more of these tools work under the same roof performing various interconnected tasks, it becomes necessary to systematize them so they can work in tandem. An industrial automation system helps operate all of the implied industrial equipment via computer software, reducing the level of manual involvement and oversight. What Are The Types Of Industrial

  Electrical enclosures are specialized enclosures that house and protect wiring and other sensitive electronic connections and interfaces, including but not limited to switches, connections, buttons, knobs, and displays. They protect not only the electrical components within them but also operators on the outside against the risk of electric shock. Electrical enclosures are also subject to a wide range of different standards that provide comprehensive guidelines for use in specific environments, and which offer different levels of protection against dirt, dust, water, light, and other environmental conditions. However, successful electrical infrastructure does not end with choosing the proper cable, enclosure, switch, or fitting. It also entails the appropriate periodic maintenance. Choosing the Right Electrical Enclosure : NEMA Ratings The National Electrical Manufacturers Association publishes standards for electrical enclosures that specify the type of protection they are capa
