Abstract
Automation has a finite and quantifiable meaning when referring to its implementation in a modern cement manufacturing facility. In this article, we provide a brief overview of the modern plant automation architecture and some selected details concerning the pieces that comprise the overall system. Our review runs from the finite and quantifiable meaning when referring to its sensors and actuators, through the process control, operator interface, and information technology, to the tie-ins with the enterprise business systems.
