Pharmacy automation
Going to the pharmacy is generally a quick in and out trip.
More and more pharmacies have become automated so you can now call in
and refill all of your prescriptions without ever talking to the
pharmacy. You can even call and see if your prescription is
ready for pick up. The automated phone part of a pharmacy helps to free
up the staff to take care of the prescriptions as they do not have to
help every caller that calls in. Many questions can be
answered with the help of an automated system.
Another level of the automated pharmacy is dispensing the
medications. These types of systems run by a barcode
procedure which eliminates error and makes it safer for the patient as
well as the pharmacy. You simply put the information into the
computer and the system does the rest. It will print the labels
complete with the barcodes and dispense the meds at the correct amount
and dosage.

Broadcast automation
When it comes to broadcast engineering, the term broadcast automation
refers to the technology that is used when certain operations need to
be broadcast. It is used either at a network or station to manage a
facility and replaces a human operator. If there are on air workers in
the studio at the time of the broadcasting, they can also use what is
called a "live assist".
In the beginning, most of the radio authorities needed a specially
licensed operator to run the stations all the time. This means that
every disc jockey had to write and pass an exam if they wanted to get
their FCC license which would legally allow them to be on-air. Not only
for this reason, but also if the DJ's job description required them to
operate the transmitter they had to pass the exam that was presented to
them. Over time the dependability and quality of some electronic
equipment improved and soon rules and regulations regarding broadcast
automation were relaxed, leading to the point that the operator did not
have to be at the studio while it was operating. After some time, this
led to a steady demonstration that went in the direction of automation,
which was done to assist in supplementing the talent of the on-air disc
jockeys. |

Library Automation Management
A programmable logic controller and a programmable automation
controller are programmed differently. Ladder logic is used to program
the programmable logic controller, which is a graphical program
language that resembles the rungs and rails of a ladder. This is
designed to imitate old relay electrical wiring diagrams. A
programmable automation controller uses a much more generic kind of
software tool that allows the program designed to share with many
different machines, HMI terminals, processors and/or any other
components that are in the system's architecture.
I/O scanning and programmable automation controllers are also
different. Where programmable logic controllers scan all I/O inputs of
the system at high speeds, programmable automation controllers make use
of just a single logical address and tagname database system to
recognize and locate I/O points where needed.
