Benefits Of Industrial Automation In Electronics Manufacturing

Products and systems that combine mechanics, hydraulics, pneumatics, plus electrical and electronic components, can be used to automate tasks previously carried out by humans. Industrial automation is used across a wide spectrum of sectors, from the automotive and aerospace industries, In this blog post, we will consider four of the resulting benefits for electronics manufacturers.

More and more customers are requesting personalized and customized products to meet the needs of their particular markets. Therefore, manufacturers need to be able to meet these demands without losing money – while still adhering to strict quality and safety standards. In the automotive industry, buyers have long been able to "build" their new online and choose from a variety of options to suit their style and taste. Automating an industry refers to replacing physical and mental labor with technology and control systems. Electronics and, mechanics are used for automation in manufacturing and engineering sectors. Elegant manufacturing facilities that are being used in industries are an example of automation systems. Automation has several advantages over manual labor.

Automation is exceptionally important for those industries that require a high level of accuracy. It is also used in those industries where working environment is dangerous for human labor.

Automation Advantages


Reduction in production time – having a machine that is automated definitely speeds up the production time since no thinking is needed by the machine, there is better repeatability and less human error.

Increase in accuracy and repeatability – when an automated machine is programmed to perform a task over and over again, the accuracy and repeatability compared to an employee are far greater.

Employee costs – by adding automated machines to an operation, means fewer employees are needed to get the job done. It also indicates fewer safety issues, which leads to financial savings. With having fewer employees, there are numerous costs that are diminished or reduced such as payroll, benefits, sick days.

Higher volume production – investing in automated equipment creates a valuable resource for large production volumes, which in turn, will increase profitability.

We know that there is bound to be a problem in machines so there are many things that can go wrong with cluster panel. Some of the problems that are minor you can troubleshoot them yourself but for major problems you need to consult with the mechanic. You should only attempt these repairs if you have some knowledge of auto electrical systems. It probably goes without saying that if you need an accurate measuring instrument then a digital multimeter is the best choice rather than the analog multimeter.

Null Type Measuring Instruments

The null type instruments are also known as zero type electrical instruments. When the pointer on measuring instruments maintain the stationary position then it is conisdered as Null value and hence they are called null type instruments. They are producing opposite effect than deflecting type instruments. Due to opposing effect the pointer position is stationary. Thus for the operation of null type instruments following steps are required:


  1. In order to calculate the value of unknown quantity the value of opposite effect must be known.
  2. The balance and unbalance condition on the detector must show accurately. The detector should also have the means for restoring force.

    Look at the camparison of deflection and null type of electrical measuring instruments:
  1. Null type of instruments are more accurate than deflection type of instruments. It is because, in the null deflecting instruments the opposing effect is calibrated with the high degree of accuracy while the calibration of the deflection type instruments depends on the value of instrument constant hence usually not having high degree of accuracy.
  2. Null point type of instruments are more sensitive than the Deflection type of instruments.
  3. Deflection type instruments are more suitable under dynamic conditions than null type of instruments as the intrinsic responses of the null type instruments are slower than deflection type instruments.
These measuring instruments are available at electrical equipment suppliers or at any electrical dealers which deals in electrical equipment. You can get any type of instruments from digital clamp meter to digital multimeter to infrared thermometer for troubleshooting of voltage related issues.

Electrical Measuring Tools

There are number of Electronic measuring instruments in the market and these are called multimeters. Like current is measured by Ammeter, voltage is measured by Voltmeter, resistance is measured by Ohmmeter.

What is Multimeter?  It is an electronic instrument used to measure current, voltage, resistance,capacitence. It can be used as Ammeter, Ohmmeter or voltmeter.

Different Types of Multimeter

Analogue Multimeter: The multipurpose device or equipment used to measure voltage, current and resistance . The display of an analog multimeter is a pointer that gives us the reading over a calibrated scale. A moving pointer indicates the resulting value of a measurement.

Digital Multimeter: A digital multimeters are electronic or electrical instruments which are used to measure electrical parameters. It can measure AC/DC voltage, AC/DC current, Resistance, Continuity test, Diode check, It display measured value in numerals on LCD display. They are cheap and easy to use . DMM are more accurate than Analogue multimeter. Because of their small size they are easy to carry. They fit in the pocket also.

They are available at any electrical and electronics product store. If you are in the wholesale trade then you can contact electrical equipment suppliers and get the product at even cheaper price.
