Abstract:
Industrial automation has emerged as a critical enabler of energy efficiency in manufacturing and process industries. This paper examines the relationship between automation technologies and energy consumption reduction, exploring various automation strategies, their implementation frameworks, and quantifiable benefits. Through analysis of case studies and empirical data, this research demonstrates that integrated automation systems can achieve energy savings of 15-40% while simultaneously improving productivity and product quality. The paper discusses key technologies including programmable logic controllers (PLCs), supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, variable frequency drives (VFDs), and advanced process control (APC) systems, along with their energy optimization capabilities.
