Hi everyone ,
As an itroduction to my topic i would love to just explain a little bit about automation in case someone want to feed his curiosity :
Automation is the use of machines, control systems and information technologies to optimize productivity in the production of goods and delivery of services.
The main advantages of automation are:
So briefly automated systems are the future of the global production , humans are less incorporated in the process .
Here is a picture showing a nice example of an automated system :
So back to my topic :
As a student in automation systems designs and maintenance , this year was my first year , and next year i will have to make my own project for graduation .
Things we studied are :
I don't know if this things are really sufficient to start a simple automated system design ?
But anyways i want from the people here who have already succeeded in making easy beginner projects to give some ideas on some simple designs , i will then be encouraged to choose the right one and think about how to make the right circuitry for the simulation and then make it real .

Automation is the use of machines, control systems and information technologies to optimize productivity in the production of goods and delivery of services.
The main advantages of automation are:
- Increased throughput or productivity.
- Improved quality or increased predictability of quality.
- Improved robustness (consistency), of processes or product.
- Reduces operation time and work handling time significantly.
- Frees up workers to take on other roles.

As a student in automation systems designs and maintenance , this year was my first year , and next year i will have to make my own project for graduation .
Things we studied are :
- Boolean algebra :
- Low power electronics and electricity (Norton ,thevenin , OpAmps , 555 timer usage ..)
- Electrical installations (trigonometrical RLC circuit calculations , signal analysis)
- circuits and schematics ( making simple circuits in the lab )
- OS usage ( windows )
- Measurement Technics ( simple DMM usage )
- Maths ( derivatives , integrals , differential equation , )
I don't know if this things are really sufficient to start a simple automated system design ?
