Why is Automation Technology so important In the present world of rapid technological changes there is an urgent demand for the very best quality products and services that can only be supplied by a high level of productivity which requires automated manufacturing and process engineering systems. Industrial Automation is very important to face the tasks of: Globalization - The global market requests for availibility, quality, reasonable prices and services and Productivity - Increase the Productivity by producing on a higher level of Automation - Quality, Time and Costs are the key factors What is Mechatronics To be able to handle such networked systems a new way of thinking and acting is required - Mechatronics ! Mechatronics integrates the classical fields of mechanical, electrical and computer engineering and information technology and is focussing on the interfaces between the different technologies and their technical collaboration.
