A manufacturing process, a simple inspection or a scientific experiment – everything should be automated nowadays. Automation helps to reduce costs and speed up the output. Most importantly, it helps when reliability and repeatability is a must.
Any automated system consists of three basic parts: hardware, software and human operator. For the process to be successful, all three parts should interact as one entity. The software plays the central role in automation because it helps to control hardware in an efficient and reliable way. That is why it is very important to have well designed and good written software.
