Introduction

Principles of Automation and Control: Theory and Practice is a practical textbook that introduces the fundamental concepts and modern applications of automation and control systems. Designed for students, researchers and engineering professionals, it explains the technologies and control strategies that support efficient, reliable and sustainable industrial operations. With a focus on Industry 4.0, the book combines theoretical foundations with practical examples to illustrate the role of automation in contemporary engineering.

Part 1 covers programmable logic devices and programmable logic controllers, industrial control systems, CNC and CAD/CAM technologies and additive manufacturing. It also examines control strategies for mechanical energy harvesting, sustainable microgrids, automated temperature control, smart power systems, hybrid energy generation, artificial intelligence in electric vehicle modeling, machine learning applications and automated vehicle tracking and accident alert systems. Together, these chapters demonstrate how automation and intelligent control techniques are applied across manufacturing, energy and transportation.
