 CHAPTER 1
Introduction & Industrial Study

Automation
Automation Is the use of control system 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. It is used to
reduce human interferences.

Tools used for automation

  Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)

 Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)

SCADA is a system for remote monitoring and control that operates
with coded signals over communication channels (using typically one
communication channel per remote station). The control system may be
combined with a data acquisition system by adding the use of coded signals over
communication channels to acquire information about the status of the remote
equipment for display or for recording functions.

 Human Machine Interface (HMI)

HMI is typically local to one machine or piece of equipment, and is the
interface method between the human and the equipment/machine. An Operator
interface is the interface method by which multiple equipment that are linked by a
host control system is accessed or controlled.
  Variable Frequency Drive (VFD)
A Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) is a type of motor controller that
drives an electric motor by varying the frequency and voltage supplied to the
electric motor. Other names for a VFD are variable speed drive, adjustable speed
drive, adjustable frequency drive, AC drive, Microdrive, and inverter.
Advantages of Automation
 Replacing human operators in tasks that involve hard physical or
monotonous work
 Replacing humans in tasks done in dangerous environments
 Performing tasks that are beyond human capabilities of size, weight, speed
etc.
 Economic improvement: Automation may improve in economy of
enterprises, society or most of humanity.

Disadvantages of Automation
 Huge capital to be invested
 Increase in unemployment rate due to machines replacing human.
 Technical Limitations
 Security threats
 High costs of maintenance.

Industrial Automation
Industrial Automation is a discipline that includes knowledge and expertise
from various branches of engineering including electrical, electronics, chemical,
mechanical, communications and more recently computer and software
engineering. Automation & Control by its very nature demands a cross fertilization
of these faculties.
Industrial Automation Engineers have always drawn new technologies and
implemented original or enhanced versions to meet their requirements. As the
range of technology diversifies the demand on the innovative ability of these
Engineers has increased.
Industrial automation engineers carry a lot of responsibility in their
profession. No other domain demands so much quality from so many perspectives
of the function, yet with significant restrictions on the budget. The project
managers of industrial automation projects have significant resource constraint,
considering the ever changing demands of its management, trying to adopt the
rapid acceleration of the technological changes and simultaneously trying to
maintain the reliability and unbreakable security of the plant and its instruments.
Global Industrial Automation
The global industrial automation services market is predicted to grow at a
CAGR of around 11% during the forecast period from 2015-2019. The need for
automation in manufacturing plants to boost productivity, especially in the oil and
gas, power, chemical and petrochemical, and automotive industries is driving the
high growth of the market.
High labour costs in countries like China are also driving the growth of the
industrial automation services market. During 2012, China accounted for nearly
16% of the global manufacturing output. Due to the increase in labour costs,
China’s market share decreased in the following years. To mitigate the high labour
costs and improve productivity, automation companies in the region are adopting to
cloud-enabled automation.

Segmentation of the global industrial automation services by service type

 Project engineering and installation
 Maintenance and support
 Consulting services
 Operational services

The project engineering and installation segment accounts for the largest
share of the market followed by the maintenance and support segment. The
consulting services segment is predicted to emerge as the fastest growing segment
by the end of 2019 in the industrial automation market. The increase in regulatory
issues and laws across industries such as food and beverages, pharmaceuticals,
chemicals, and petrochemicals have surged the demand for industrial automation
consulting services.

Segmentation of the global industrial automation services by product

 Distributed control systems (DCS)
 Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA)
 Programmable logic control (PLC)
  Manufacturing execution system (MES)
 Others (HMI, EMI, and AM)

The DCS segment accounted for nearly 45% of the market share during 2014.
The high demand for power is the primary driver for the growth of this segment.
The increase in food safety regulations across the pharmaceutical and oil and gas
industries have also pushed the demand for services associated with DCS,
especially in the APAC region.
SCADA is the second largest segment of the market, and they help monitor and
control industrial processes and infrastructure in manufacturing plants. Power, oil,
and gas industries are the largest end-users of SCADA-based automation solutions.

Segmentation of the global industrial automation services by geography

 EMEA
 Americas
 APAC

EMEA led the global industrial automation services market during 2014 and is
expected to do so till the end of 2019 but with a decrease in its market share. The
Americas will also witness a decline in market shares during the forecast period
due to the shift of automation services to the APAC region.
APAC would see the fastest growth during the forecast period with countries
like Japan, South Korea, India, and China being the major revenue contributors in
the region.

Leading vendors in the industrial automation services market

The global industrial automation services market consists international, regional,
and local vendors. Regional and local vendors are finding it difficult to expand in
the global market due to the need for high capital investment.
The leading vendors in the market are:
  ABB
 Honeywell
 Rockwell Automation
 Siemens
Other prominent vendors in the market include Applied Materials, Apriso,
Aspen, Control Systems, Emerson Electric, Eyelite, GE, Metso, Miracom,
Mitsubishi, Omron, SAP, Schneider Electric, Toshiba, Werum, and Yokogawa.

Automation in India
India, due to the large size of its domestic market, has been very attractive
for international companies for long. It was only due to political and economic
barriers the automation solutions took time to reach the Indian shores. The other
big challenge in India was opposition from the workers. Automation has always
had the negative image of being a job killer. During the late 1980s, when the
process of automation began taking foothold, with willing political support and
able technical advice, there was tremendous apprehension and protest. Popularly
known as `computerization', it was apprehended by many trade unions in India that
such computerization (automation) would make the labor redundant and hence
would lead to joblessness. However, with the force of liberalization gradually
setting in during the early 1990s leading to increased pace of economic growth, the
availability of jobs and increase in wages wiped out the earlier apprehension.
Automation had its economic relevance. In an earlier protected domestic market
environment, most companies had adequate demand for their products and hence
had little incentive to modernize their activities. However, in an open economic
environment, with competition coming in from the rest of the world, it was
necessary for these businesses to focus on quality and reliability in production and
emphasize on customer needs. Automation proved to be a solution for quality and
reliability in production, leaving space for the business organizations to focus more
on market and customer needs. The automation industry that started as a small
business, providing automation solutions to some manufacturing and service units,
has grown many fold during the last two decades. The growth is so phenomenal
that the industry is now worth billions of dollars in India.
Business Trend
As stated earlier, the Indian automation growth story has been very
inspiring. The sales growth of the Indian automation sector was an average annual
growth rate of 29.6% during the period from 2000 to 2008. The industry's sales,
which was at $494M during 2000, reached $3714M by 2008. The growth rate was
around 16% annually. As industrial growth was slow in this period, so also was the
growth in automation. The four years starting from 2004 was a golden period
for most developing and developed economies. The growth rate during this period
in the automation sector was an eye-popping 44.5%. The rate of industrial
production went up to 11.5% in 2006-07 and the manufacturing sector contributed
91% to this. As automation supports other industrial sectors, the rate of growth of
the automation industry paralleled that of industrial growth during this period.

Growth Forecast
For a period of eight years, the industry defied all ups and downs in the
economy to keep up a steady growth. This shows that the industry will be able to
continue to grow strongly and reach$19017M by the end of financial year 2014.The
forecast assumes that most of the factors contributing to the industry's growth will
remain unchanged during the coming five years. The global industrial automation
market is forecast to reach more than $200 billion by 2015. Moving forward, three
key factors are expected to transform the face of industrial automation: energy
efficiency, advanced technology and emerging economies. The global industrial
automation market is forecast to reach more than $200 billion by 2015. Moving
forward, three key factors are expected to transform the face of industrial
automation: energy efficiency, advanced technology and emerging economies.

 Sustainability and Energy Efficiency Sustainability is expected to be a

major measure of success for the global manufacturing industry, and
growing focus on implementing energy-efficient solutions in process and
discrete industries will promote sustainable manufacturing. Energy
efficiency concerns will dominate business in the electric motors market,
while wastewater treatment and handling pumps will likely dominate
traditional water pumping around the world. Ultimately, four major areas of
influence will likely determine business models in future factories: integrated
 enterprise ecosystems; sustainability; lifecycle assessment; and eco-
efficiency analysis.

 Advanced Technologies Factories of the future will likely leverage

"megatrends" like cloud computing, cyber-security and mobile
communication technologies. Driven by the need for greater productivity and
efficiency, organizations are adopting these technologies to provide effective
interaction between the factory floor and the enterprise across all end users.
Asset management and flexible manufacturing are also forecast to drive
factory-enterprise integration significant potential for automation and
customized service solutions in industrial applications.

 Emerging Economies The BRIC nations – Brazil, Russia, India and China –
along with other emerging economies worldwide are forecast to sustain high
growth in industrial automation markets. The strongest growth is expected in
emerging markets in the Middle East, Southeast Asia and Eastern Europe.
However, in more developed regions like North America and Western
Europe, opportunities exist in the modernization of old infrastructure. In
addition, flexible manufacturing will likely aid regional customization by
aligning the product portfolio to suit market demands.
PEST Analysis

Political
Companies in this industry have to deal with many political systems in
different countries as the global interest in automation. Some countries have a good
environment for business growth and survival but others present difficult
conditions. Government intervention in the United States is minimal while in other
countries, such as China, government control over business is high. As of
SKYTECH they may face threat from the tie with GE and Danfoss as they face the
economies of various countries.

Economic
The automation industry is affected by fluctuations in interest rates, exchange
rates, and money value. Factors such as deflation and inflation as well as
government spending in different countries often influence business productivity
and profitability.

Social-Cultural
Norms, culture, religion, and social customs often determine how a business
should conduct itself in a particular country or environment. The culture in a
particular country determines the working hours, employment policies, procedures
for appointing managers, and the type of goods to be produced. With GE being a
multinational company, it has to adapt to different cultural challenges so has to
SKYTECH as per the requirement with that od GE’s.

Technological
The rate of technological advancement varies with each country. The countries
with the highest rate of technology advancement are the Unites States and Japan,
both of which General Electric has a presence. Globally, technology is advancing at
a very high rate. Hence SKYTECH has an advantage with regards to the
technological aspect.
Porters Five Forces Model

Supplier Power: High, Stable

The cost of materials is the Electrical Equipment Manufacturing industry’s
largest expense item. Materials include steel, copper, aluminum, silver, nickel, zinc,
mineral oil and plastics. In addition, industry players purchase fabricated products
and electronic components. A rise in the price of raw materials in recent years will
be largely offset by this industry's pricing actions. Unless this industry find
substitute for its manufacturing, otherwise the power of supplier will still be stable.

Barriers to Entry: Medium, Stable

The major barriers to entry for this industry include: access to the latest
technology and to skilled employees; and the benefits of reputation and critical
mass of incumbents. The largest players in this industry have global operations,
established production facilities and distribution arrangements, internally
developed and acquired technologies, a large range of products, and well-known
brand names. Established large firms can have relatively low unit costs. Scale can
also increase negotiating power in purchasing raw materials. New fast-developing
small companies are usually acquired by large companies in this industry.

Buyer Power: Medium, Stable

Customers are typically involved in contracts with certain companies and
therefore are unable to switch for certain years. Orders are also typically very large
and it is inefficient for the customer to switch companies because of the
personalization of the products. In the future, customers also need update and
service from the companies that they signed agreements with. Since the machines
usually lasts long time, customers tend to choose well-reputed companies that can
provide better service.
Threat of Substitutes: High, Increasing
Substitute goods in the electrical manufacturing equipment industry are a big
threat. There are many competitors in this industry. As the economy worsens and
price sensitivity becomes higher, a switch to a less expensive producer becomes
more likely. Especially, the imports have price-advantage. There are also increasing
imports which intimidate domestic manufacturers.

Degree of Rivalry: Medium, Increasing

The major bases of competition include: product quality and performance; the
range of products and services offered; and price. The ability to provide high
performing and reliable electrical equipment can be important given the nature of
some customers and end-users who, in turn, seek to provide highly reliable
products and services. In addition, customers often wish to minimize replacement,
repair and maintenance expenditures. Companies that are able to supply equipment
that offers users with increased utility and/or lower operating costs will often have
a competitive edge. R&D and strategic alliances can assist in gaining access to
competitive products, as well as to production technologies.

Variable Frequency Drives (VFD)
A variable frequency drive is a type of motor controller that drives an
electric motor by varying the frequency and voltage supplied to the electric motor.
VFDs’ are also called as variable speed drive, adjustable speed drive, adjustable
frequency drive.

VFDs are used in applications ranging from small appliances to the largest of
mine mill drives and compressors. However, around 25% of the world's electrical
energy is consumed by electric motors in industrial applications, which are
especially conducive for energy savings using VFDs in centrifugal load service and
VFDs' global market penetration for all applications is still relatively small. That
lack of penetration highlights significant energy efficiency improvement
opportunities for retrofitted and new VFD installations.

Over the last four decades, power electronics technology has reduced VFD cost
and size and has improved performance through advances in semiconductor
switching, simulation and control techniques, and control hardware and software.
Program Logic Control (PLC)
A programmable logic controller or programmable controller is a
digital computer used for automation of industrial electromechanical processes,
such as control of machinery on factory assembly lines, amusement rides, light
fixtures. PLCs are designed for multiple arrangements of digital and analog inputs
and outputs, extended temperature ranges, immunity to electronic noises and
resistance to vibration and impact. Programs to control machine operation are
typically stored in battery-backed-up or non-volatile memory.

Suggestions

 The company has to plan the production, formatting and operation layouts
various places within the factory so that raw materials flow in the right
directions with less wastage of time and materials and lesser piling up of work
in progress
 The company should maintain all the production records in the factory, the
time lost in production, causes for delay, changes in capacity, absenteeism,
underestimation of machines, tools, materials and manpower, errors in
processing and inspection and receipts of schedules so that the problems
affecting production and automation can be analyzed and necessary actions
can be taken to minimize them.
 Once the job is in the area where the operation is to be performed, the company
has to be determine when and whom the job is to be performed and should
also determine the sequence in which the waiting orders are processed. This
should be put up in the work place and thus will help in the timely
implementation of production orders.
 A schedule on the general priorities of the job and the date by which the job
should leave the area within the constraints setup by the schedule has to be
maintained in the work place in order to ensure that there are no delays in
delivering the orders placed by the customers
 The production department has to maintain a production order note stating the
start and finish times for the production of each order, thereby determining the
time restricted for the production of every order
