What is instrumentation?

• Automation is the driving force behind modern
  manufacturing and testing. Processing and
  manufacturing times are drastically cut, reducing
  overhead and increasing ROI.
• Instrument is defined as tool for execution.
  Imagine your body as an automated system, then
  your muscles are executing devices (output) while
  your senses are input.
• Instrumentation is the eyes and ears of the
  industry

3
What are the benefits?

• Industrial automation instrumentation provides a
  range of benefits, including
• Improve workplace safety by protecting workers
  from hazardous machine motion
• Reduce labor costs by automating manual processes
• Achieve better traceability with sensors and
  computer-based tracking
• Optimize processes by providing wireless
  communication throughout your factory
• Decrease part cycle times through more efficient
  operation
• Use predictive analytics to prevent defects and
  improve process efficiency

Now, for the sensors

• Controllers and data acquisition
• Data acquisition stations and controllers gather
  and digitize measurement signals for control
  and/or storage and analysis.
• This process collects data for monitoring and
  analyzing testing and manufacturing processes.
• The visualization of data enables easier analysis
  and allows you to monitor multiple stations
  across multiple areas of a facility.

• Encoders Rotary, incremental, and absolute
  encoders monitor the position of a shaft and
  convert the data into an analog or digital signal
  to measure changes in position, speed, or linear
  distance. Options include optical encoders for
  high resolution and operating speed and magnetic
  encoders for dusty and dirty working
  environments.
• Human machine interface (HMI) Industrial HMI
  touch panels provide a textual or graphical
  interface between industrial automation systems
  and users. They can display data, graphics, and
  animation to provide control and monitoring of
  automation systems.
• Industrial computing Controls and automation
  instrumentation require software, HMIs, ethernet
  switches, data stations, and other equipment to
  provide communication between different devices
  and users.
• Machine safety Facilities that utilize
  industrial automation are required to adhere to
  guidelines aimed at preventing workplace injuries
  and related economic consequences such as
  equipment downtime and fines related to
  non-compliance.

To conclude

• Instrumentation plays an important role in
  gathering information from the field and in
  changing the field parameters. It is an
  interdisciplinary branch heading towards
  Intelligent sensors, smart transducers, MEMS
  technology and bluetooth technology
