Robotics, control systems and flexible lines are used to automate manufacturing processes. These supplement human intervention, increase operational efficiencies, and improve productivity. Integrating various technologies such as sensors, controllers, robotics, and software enables the monitoring and control of industrial processes.</p><p>The goal of industrial automation is to minimise errors, increase production speed, reduce costs, and enhance safety. This is achieved by enabling machines and systems to operate autonomously with minimal human input. Examples of industrial automation applications include assembly lines, material handling, manufacturing processes and quality control.</p></div></div><div id="ElementHTML169447" class="sb-style-element-separate-above grid g4 two sb-element-type-html"><div class="htmlInner"><img style="margin: 0px; float: left;" class="media-inline png" width="490" height="368" alt="A_robot-mounted_gripper_picking_up_Renishaw_encoder_housings_within_an_industrial_automation_cell" src="/media/img/gen/f93f47200b8c4b09a60eaac6f5f76819.png" /></div></div></div></div><div id="Region19" class="region sb-style-element-separate-above"><div class="region-inner"><div id="ElementHTML168237" class="sb-style-element-separate-above grid g1 sb-element-type-html"><div class="htmlInner"><h2>RCS Software Suite</h2><p>Run set-up and diagnostic tests quickly and easily with our user-friendly software.</p></div></div><div id="ElementNavigation169371" class="grid g1 sb-element-type-navigation"><div class="page-embed-control" id="0520712f-1c8e-49fa-b18e-2d1752721f84" languagecode="en"></div></div> <div id="ElementHTML168089" class="sb-style-cta grid g4 two sb-element-type-html"><div class="htmlInner"><h3>Conduct set-up or diagnostic tests with a guided software process</h3><p>RCS hardware products are supported by RCS Software Suite.
