Question

Accepted Answer

Key concepts and applications of industrial automation include PLCs, SCADA systems, robotics, sensors, and actuators.

Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) are used to control machinery and processes in industrial settings.
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems monitor and control industrial processes.
Robotics are used for tasks such as assembly, welding, and material handling in manufacturing.
Sensors are used to detect changes in the environment and provide feedback to the automation system.
Actuators are used to physically control processes, such as opening and closing valves or moving robotic arms.
