Abstract:

This paper deals with the analysis of new trends in the field of automated production. Construct an overview of theoretical knowledge in automated production, analyze new trends and consequences of automated production, and evaluate their advantages and disadvantages. Subsequently, a demonstration of an example of automation was created on the model of an automated warehouse, which offers the opportunity to continue developing and expanding the model and creating an experimental production system in a selected laboratory at the Department of Industrial Engineering, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of Zilina. This multifunctional kit is a robust training model that simulates and demonstrates warehouse automation in the world's most advanced enterprises. Programming takes place in the Siemens TIA Portal software, which is then loaded into a Programmable Logic Automator which is interconnected with the source Siemens SITOP PSU100S. The main objective of the paper was to provide an overview of the current state-of-the-art in automated manufacturing and to create an example of an automated warehouse that can be used in teaching as an ideal simulation and demonstration model for training and industrial automation.
