Integrated automation systems incorporate the total manufacturing system into a computer-controlled, digitally processed and coordinated system.

Integrated automation systems work through a common manufacturing system database. This central automation control point makes it possible to integrate industrial and non-industrial processes and robot integration through automated production technologies. Integrated automation systems are used in computer-integrated manufacturing and several types of advanced process automation systems.

A well-designed integrated automation system opens the door to implementing advanced technologies that could greatly increase efficiency and productivity across the entire manufacturing facility, including bringing together:

• Computer-Aided Process Planning (CAPP)
• Computer-controlled scheduling and production line control processes
• Manufacturing Execution System (MES) / Manufacturing IT integration
• Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and Distributed Control System programming
• Coordinated Drive systems and advanced Motion Control
• Production Process Test Systems and Process Monitoring Sensors
• Part validation and Vision Inspection Systems
• Industrial Energy Management systems
• Automated material handling systems
• Automated retrieval and storage systems
• RFID and Bar Code part tracking systems
