The automated control of process manufacturing is called process automation.
Process manufacturing refers to the blending and treatment of raw materials by various means that leads to production of a continuous stream of product such as chemicals, pulp and paper, gas and oil.
The systems used to automate and control these manufacturing steps are collectively known as process automation. For customers, maximizing production efficiency is among the most important requirements of a process automation solution.
ABB is continually developing applications that let plants and equipment run safely at maximum output, consistently producing high-quality products while helping to reduce downtime and variable costs such as labor, maintenance and raw materials.
