Rich downstream application scenarios of industrial automation

Industrial automation refers to the application of automation technology in the manufacturing process of the mechanical industry, achieving automatic processing and continuous production, improving the efficiency and quality of mechanical production, and releasing productivity as a means of operation. It is used to replace manual operation of machines and machine systems for processing and production. Under the conditions of industrial production automation, humans only indirectly take care of and supervise machines for production. From the perspective of downstream applications, it can be divided into OEM and project-based markets; 1) OEM market: Factory Automation (FA), used in discrete industries. The main market is the standardized and mass-produced machinery market, with customers being equipment manufacturers. Some small, customized non-standard large equipment is not included in this category. The main industries include textile machinery, packaging machinery, lifting machinery, food machinery, plastic machinery, rubber machinery, machine tools, elevators, printing machinery, HVAC, electronic equipment manufacturing, wind power, solar energy, paper machinery, transportation vehicles, construction machinery, mining machinery, power equipment, etc. 2) Project based Market (EU): Process Automation (PA). Mainly responsible for controlling the production process of process industries, achieving continuous production and processing, including metallurgy, chemical industry, electricity, automotive, petrochemical and petroleum, municipal engineering, building materials, public facilities, papermaking, mining, etc.
