Abstract
Modern industrial production is reduced in the end to the execution of a great number of diverse working processes. Most processes are associated with treatment and transformation of initial raw materials into half- or fully finished products; such working processes are referred to as technological. Technological processes involve transportation of materials to the place of utilization as well as energy processes, i.e. generation and transformation of energy in forms most convenient for the respective proccess. Also, information processes, i.e. transmission and transformation of information are of great importance in modern production, ensuring execution of operations associated with control and organization of production.
