COMPUTERS AND AUTOMATION OF PRODUCTION CONTROL
Abstract
General purpose digital computers and cybernetic machines can be regarded as converters of information, capable in principle of performing in any circuit of automatic control. Restrictions emerging unavoidably in practice are associated not with qualitative peculiarities of these machines, but with limitation of their quantitative characteristics (high speed primarily),AND ALSO WITH ECONOMIC CONSIDERATIONS. Automation of labor of control engineers, managing rather complex industrial objects, presently constitutes a major application area of general purpose electronic digital cybernetic machines. The effect thus achieved improves control quality and economic indices. (Author)
