Outgrowing the Factory, Automation Evolves from Craft To Science; Influential New IEEE Journal Charts Future of Automation Science

The latest automation systems are busy digitizing our world, but they still have much work to do. An example is using an efficient, accurate, and reliable page-turing and scanning device to convert 32 million books into digital format. This article discusses a new journal, IEEE Transactions on Automation Science and Engineering (T-ASE). T-ASE is dedicated to the topic of automation science and related research that explores automation applications across a broad range of industries. The article asserts that automation engineering is a misunderstood and underdeveloped science. Automation is often thought of as only applying to assembly lines and other factory automation systems. Journal readers will quickly realize that this is a misconception and in fact automation can be applied across a variety of applications. With time, the goal is to get automation technology involved in many facets of people’s daily lives extending automation beyond the factory. T-ASE grew out of a similar journal called IEEE Transactions on Robotics and Automation (T-RA).  Read the full article at Business Wire.
