Does Integrating IT into the Manufacturing plant reduce the human error and improve quality?

Ya, it is definitely reduce the number of employee and improve quality. the best example is hyundai, where they are using PLC controlled automation technique to improve quality of their products

Thanks for insight as well the persons made such a nice and useful dicussion too

IT is a service enabler.  IT can dramatically reduce errors in any segment provided the right efforts have been put in during the integration stage of processes and IT.  Organizations that suffer after implementations of IT would definitely not have done their homework right during the initial integration stages.

Relying solely on IT may not also be an ideal choice.  There must be manual workarounds to cater to exceptions.

yes it will help in improving efficency and cost.

The philosophy of integration in every human endeavour is indispensbale. And no technology has an ever been an exception to this.

Information Technology areas like computer programming as a scientific domain has traditionally remained a largely aloof from the domain of hard core automation and control systems engineering. But now the advent of wireless communication, internet technologies and enterprise level software solutions are being constantly driven by the changing needs of the processing or manufacturing industries. Thesedays, the warehouses of finished products are connected to the end customers and the paper factory shop floor machines all in a single technology loop. This enables the exact number of paper rolls of a particular grade is to be produced which is presently in  high demand  in the end consumer market. The over head cost of distributors , manufacturers and supply chain functions all are getting reduced together through a seamless autoamtion solution. This is a value proposition which is beyond the traditional values of manufacturing industries like better quality, more quantity, lesser deffects and faster , cheaper and safer production.

Industrial automation has witnessed a lot changes in the last 20 years but it will reach its peak in the next twenty years when advances in material sciences will meet it to bring unforeseen benefits to our manufacturing factories.

Of course it can. The information Technology today has grown a lot and thereby is giving us error less profit in many areas. A human being, no matter how experienced he is, will anyway at any point of of time will do some or other mistake. It cannot be avoided. Its nature of humans. But in computer, everything is prefixed. Things happen automatically and at exact time. So there is no chance of any mistake. This is the reason,by implementing computers in manufacturing companies, not only errors will be reduced, but work will happen in much efficient manner in less amount of time.

definitly IT systems in manufactering processes are much helpful to avoid or we can say eliminate completely and improment in qualitiy also.

IT systems can give huge amount of data to analize the process. based on the fast inprovement is possible.

now a days  in each new pant IT system is must for produdction and companies are implementing it.

Thanx for refering a nice topic.

IT based system will contribute towards reducing human error, not only in Manufacturing, but in all the fields.

In Manufacturing particularly, in addition to reduce possibility of human error, IT based systems will also increase effectiveness of Production Planning, will reduce time of all personnel in meetings, will improve Quality of product, alongwith many other advantages.

Aain Insights discussed here are useful in any manufacturing firm. thanks for it to all of you discussing here.

Mr.Sanjit I somewhat agree with what you said but try to look from another point of view. Automated machines not only produce consistent results every time but are also very useful when it comes to the evaluation of thousands of fast moving parts at any one time. Not only can machines and computers prove useful in plotting points and making graphs, but a computer can often detect errors in production that you or I would have difficulty identifying.And IT's involvement in the quality control sector really does improve products and also cuts back on the cost of having to hire large numbers of quality inspectors.
