Mention the different stage of evolution from
mechanisation to automation?
Answers
Answer:
Manufacturing automation has been common since the 1970s. Advances in technology, including robotics, big data, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things have improved factory production since then. Collaborative robots — also called cobots — are sweeping across the industry. Rather than take over for laborers completely, cobots can work alongside humans to improve efficiency and reduce hazards. Autonomous mobile platforms are popular in factories and warehouses, as seen in Amazon’s fulfillment centers. Here are some robotics trends that are driving the evolution of manufacturing automation.

Answer:
Automation:
The dictionary defines automation as “the technique of making an apparatus, a process, or a system operate automatically.” We define automation as "the creation and application of technology to monitor and control the production and delivery of products and services.”
Three types of automation in production can be distinguished:
(1) fixed automation
(2) programmable automation
(3) flexible automation.
Levels of Automation
Device level. This is the lowest level in our automation hierarchy. ...
Cell or system level. This is the manufacturing cell or system level, which operates under instructions from the plant level. ...
Plum level. This is the factory or production systems level. ...
Enterprise level. This is the highest level.
