 ADVANTAGES OF AUTOMATION
OPERATING PERSONNEL FREED FROM
ROUTINE TASKS.
INCORRECT INTERVENTIONS IN THE PROCESS
AVOIDED.
STRESS ON EQUIPMENT REDUCED.
PLANT OPERATIONS GEARED FOR MAXIMUM
EFFICIENCY.
INCIPIENT FAULTS RECOGNISED QUICKLY.
ON FAULT OCCURRENCE, IMMEDIATE AND
LOGICAL INTERVENTION POSSIBLE.
