At its simplest, automation means to make something automatic. In manufacturing, whether describing a single device or an entire system or process, automation refers to performing one or many tasks autonomously with minimal or even no human interaction in a manufacturing or production environment.
“In most situations, automation allows manufacturers to produce goods faster, with higher quality, and at a lower cost than manual operations,” said computer science average salary, principal vision systems architect for Integro Technologies.
The day before the federal government issued new recommendations that Americans wear cloth face coverings to help slow the spread of the coronavirus, a researcher at Missouri University of Science and Technology decided to test a few common household materials – pillowcases, scarves, furnace filters – “out of curiosity.” His early results, which he shared on Twitter Thursday, have attracted the interest of do-it-yourselfers, fellow engineers and scientists, and the general public.
The tweet also attracted the attention of a journalist from The New York Times, who reported on the project Sunday as part of the newspaper’s coronavirus coverage.
Dr. Yang Wang, assistant professor of environmental engineering at Missouri S&T, studies how fine particles like aerosols are transmitted. Recent research suggests that the coronavirus may survive on airborne aerosols for a few hours, although it also can be spread through larger respiratory droplets emitted through a cough or a sneeze.
