THE COMPLETE INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION HANDBOOK: Build, Program, and Maintain Modern Factory Systems with PLCs, SCADA, Robotics, and IioT

By Josh Raymond

Industrial automation is the backbone of modern manufacturing-and mastering it requires more than theory. The Complete Industrial Automation Handbook is a comprehensive, practical guide for engineers and technicians who want to design, program, and maintain reliable, efficient, and scalable factory automation systems.

This book brings together the core technologies that power today's smart factories-PLCs, SCADA systems, robotics, sensors, networks, and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)-into one clear, hands-on resource.

What You'll Learn

✔ Core principles of industrial automation and control systems
✔ PLC programming fundamentals and real-world logic design
✔ SCADA systems for monitoring, visualization, and control
✔ Integrating industrial robots into automated production lines
✔ Industrial networking and communication protocols
✔ Applying IIoT for data collection, monitoring, and optimization
✔ Designing safe, reliable, and maintainable automation architectures
✔ Troubleshooting, diagnostics, and system maintenance strategies
✔ Best practices for scaling automation in modern factories

Who This Book Is For

Automation, electrical, and control engineers

Maintenance engineers and technicians

Industrial system integrators
