Abstract
Highly automated factories, requiring only limited manual intervention, are a fundamental feature of our lives today. As a consequence, the supply of most everyday goods involves only minimal manpower. This book explores how controlled drives in these factories and in logistics systems ensure that products are manufactured and delivered to the end user in large volumes and with maximum efficiency.
