INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

The term informationhas a diversity of meanings, fromeveryday usage to technical interpretations. Generally

speaking, the concept of information is associated with

knowledge derived from study, experience, or

instruction. Technology, on the other hand, refers to the

application of knowledge to the practical aims of human

life, or to changing and manipulating the human

environment. Technology includes the use of materials,

tools, techniques and sources of power to make life easier

or more pleasant and work more productive. Technology

began to influence human endeavor as soon as people

began using tools. Technology also started being used for

managing information when the amount and variety of

information grew to such vast proportions that the humanbrain could neither store nor process it efficiently.

DEFINATION

Information Technology is a general term that describes

any technology that helps to produce, manipulate, store,communicate and/or disseminate information.

Presumably, when speaking of Information Technology as

a whole, it is noted that the use of computers and

information are associated. Information Technology

"the study, design, development, implementation, support

or management of computer-based information systems,

particularly software applications and computer

hardware. IT deals with the use of computers andcomputer software to convert, store,

protect, process, transmit

and securely retrieve information.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS

The computer and information systems industries,

Information Technology is the capability to electronically

input, process, store, output, transmit, and receive data

and information, including text, graphics, sound, and

video, as well as the ability to control machines of all

kinds electronically. Information Technology is comprised

of computers, networks, satellite communications,

robotics, video, text, cable television, electronic mail "e-

mail", electronic games, and automated office equipment.

The information industry consists of all computer,

communications, and electronics-related organizations,

including hardware, software, and services. Completing

tasks using Information Technology results in rapidprocessing and information mobility, as well as improved

reliability and integrity of processed information.

AFFORDABILITY

Information technology is providing us with affordable

devices and machines. They are more effective than men.

The work faster than a human being. They are off course

costly when you purchase them. But after that they are

totally made for you. If you hire laborers you have to pay

them daily. But a device cant need any labor.

DATA PROCESSING

Information technology provides industry with the

conventional data processing technique. Devices operate

on the principal of input to processing to output.

COMMUNICATION

Information technology facilitates with the tools of

communications. These communications may be with in

the industry or for outside information. It connects withinternet for worldwide communications.

STORING

Information technology is not only the data processing but

it also useful for storage of data. For industrial usage you

can store contents, formulas, accounts, etc.

DESIGNING

Information technology is totally different form the old

ways of products and development designing. It does not

requires any paper or pen. It includes soft wareswhich

are helpful for designing and development.

SUPPORT

Information technology is a very friendly tool to be used

up till now. It supports all data processing and

communicates able devices. It easily connects to the device

by the means of wires, wireless, infrared , Bluetooth, etc.

SECURE DATA

Information technology guarantees the security and

backup facility for data. Industries have hundreds of data

transfers at a single second of time. i.t improves its

quality of storing data.

THATS WHY INDUSTRY MOVES FOR

Every day, people use computers in new ways.

Computers and other electronic devices are becoming

increasingly affordable. They continue to be more

powerful as information-processing tools as well as

easier to use. Humans are continually becoming

dependant on IT-enabled devices for carrying outsimple tasks like remembering a phone number to

complex ones like flying a fighter plane. Information

Technology has applications in almost all aspects of

our life.

MEETING THE NEEDS OF POPULATION.

Eventually technology will become so advanced and

useful that it causes the human race to stop evolving.

Thomas Malthus pointed out that during times of

famine and poverty population rates go down.

Charles Darwin took this idea and created how

evolution works, which is that only the fit survive that

is only people who have the best genetics live on to

reproduce. Because Technology works to fix the

hardships of people, the people no longer need to

adapt to the problem. Because we don't evolve to be

weak or insufficeint there will be no new problems

developing. That said it isn't how technology changes

to meet the needs of people it is how technologygrows so that there are no more needs.

EFFICIENT PRODUCTION

Disturbance reduction techniques are a combination for

improving efficiency in manufacturing systems. Themodeling allows different tests to be carried out by step-

by-step alteration. The use of manufacturing

improvement techniques should be combined for best

results. The changes in disturbances will show us different

alternatives in output of the manufacturing system. Two

case studies have been drawn up to study the possibilities

for disturbance reduction in manufacturing systems with

the proposed method for improved overall manufacturing

efficiency. The case studies showed an improvement of

output of 14 per cent and 18 per cent, respectively.

CONTROLSThis technology is also one of the fastest changing,

and today's industrial control System vendors are

quick to implement the latest technologies in sensor

design and network capabilities.

INFORMATION

Information technology makes you able to collect

information regarding your industry. This

information may be from external or internal

reporters. You can calculate and compare your

performance easily.

SECURITY

Information technology improves the security issues in

a production department. Sensors and cameras are

connected to the computers to monitor the activities.If any problem occurs they respond instantly.

Therefore no threat if you are in favor of information

technology .

The most inspiring technology now a day is e

productivity. Companies are feeling relax of heavy and

variety of production. One of common example is paint

industry. They are producing a variety of colors to satisfytheir customers.

REAL TIME AUTOMATION

Automation is the use ofsystems andinformation

technologies to reduce the need for human work in the

production of goods and services. In the scope

ofindustrialization,automation is a step

beyond mechanization. Whereas mechanization provides

human operators withmachinery to assist them with the

muscular requirements of work, automation greatly

decreases the need for human sensory and mental

requirements as well. Automation plays an increasingly

important role in theworld economyand in dailyexperience. Automation has had a notable impact in a

wide range of industries beyond manufacturingtelephoneoperators have been replaced largely by

automatedtelephone switchboards and answering

machines. Medical processes such as primary screening in

electrocardiography orradiography and laboratory

analysis of humangenes,sera,cells, andtissues are carried

out at much greater speed and accuracy by automatedsystems.Automated teller machines have reduced the

need for bank visits to obtain cash and carry out

transactions. In general, automation has been responsible

for the shift in the world economy from industrial jobs to

service jobs in the 20th and 21st centuries.

ADVANCED CONTROLS

Advanced process control is a broad term composed of

different kinds ofprocess control tools, often used for

solving multivariable control problems or discrete control

problem. Advanced control describes a practice which

draws elements from many disciplines ranging from

control engineering, signal processing, statistics, decisiontheory and artificial intelligence.

APC can be found in the (petro) chemical industries where

it makes it possible to control multivariable control

problems. Since these controllers contain the dynamic

relationships between variables it can predict in the future

how variables will behave. Based on these predictions,actions can be taken now to maintain variables within

limits
