Differences Between Automation And Manual techniques

Automation is increasing rapidly in every field. Increase in the automation results in both advantages and disadvantages. Before automation the manual techniques are being used. Both of them are having their own importance. In some cases if usage of automation is effective, manual techniques will be helpful in few cases. Based on the usage automation and manual techniques can be compared.

1. Maintenance: Manual does not need much of maintenance. But automation needs maintenance their repair costs are very high. As there will be a vast usage of automated machines.
2. Efficient: Both are efficient. But automation is having greater efficiency.
3. Fuel economy: Fuel needed will be less for the manual control of the systems. Fuel economy will be more for automated machines.
4. Cost: Naturally the cost of automation is very high because a large number of automated machines are used with the present technologies. The cost is very less when compared to the automation being used.
5. Network Problems: There are no network problems when we use Manual techniques. The Network problems are the major issues during usage of automation.
6. Time Consumption: The time consumed for manufacturing any product will be less during automation. But during manual procedures time consumed to manufacture each and every product will be high.

But on a whole to meet the present trends automation should be used in the present competitive network to meet the needs of the customers.

Uses Of Automation In Safety Management Systems

Safety management system is the term mainly used for certain regulatory works. It is a specific application of quality management to provide safety. Safety management system is used to manage all aspects of safety throughout an industry. Several organizations like air travel, marine shipping etc use SMS.

SMS requires reliable, repeatable data for decision making in a structured and engineered environment. Fundamental issues in any SMS are to identify hazards, assess risk and reducing risk and implement controls to reduce unacceptable risks. Employees must spend most of the time at work to check out the hazards and risk control. So this can be achieved by using automated machines which produce a sound or alarm to indicate about any accident or any hazard. A large number of automated techniques can be used in any of the organizations where SMS’s are found in order to b free from risk. It also requires repeatable data which can be obtained easily by automated techniques instead of doing it manually.

Automation is important in order to safeguard any management system.
