INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
The term information has a diversity of meanings, from everyday usage to technical interpretations. Generally speaking, the concept of information is associated with knowledge derived from study, experience, or instruction. Technology, on the other hand, refers to the application of knowledge to the practical aims of human life, or to changing and manipulating the human environment. Technology includes the use of materials, tools, techniques and sources of power to make life easier or more pleasant and work more productive. Technology began to influence human endeavor as soon as people began using tools. Technology also started being used for managing information when the amount and variety of information grew to such vast proportions that the human brain could neither store nor process it efficiently.

DEFINATION Information Technology is a general term that describes any technology that helps to produce, manipulate, store, communicate and/or disseminate information. Presumably, when speaking of Information Technology as a whole, it is noted that the use of computers and information are associated. Information Technology

"the study, design, development, implementation, support or management of computer-based information systems, particularly software applications and computer hardware. IT deals with the use of computers and computer software to convert, store, protect, process, transmit and securely retrieve information.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS The computer and information systems industries, Information Technology is the capability to electronically input, process, store, output, transmit, and receive data and information, including text, graphics, sound, and video, as well as the ability to control machines of all kinds electronically. Information Technology is comprised of computers, networks, satellite communications, robotics, video, text, cable television, electronic mail "email", electronic games, and automated office equipment. The information industry consists of all computer, communications, and electronics-related organizations, including hardware, software, and services. Completing tasks using Information Technology results in rapid processing and information mobility, as well as improved reliability and integrity of processed information.

AFFORDABILITY Information technology is providing us with affordable devices and machines. They are more effective than men. The work faster than a human being. They are off course costly when you purchase them. But after that they are totally made for you. If you hire laborers you have to pay them daily. But a device cant need any labor.

DATA PROCESSING Information technology provides industry with the conventional data processing technique. Devices operate on the principal of input to processing to output.

COMMUNICATION Information technology facilitates with the tools of communications. These communications may be with in the industry or for outside information. It connects with internet for worldwide communications.

Information technology is not only the data processing but it also useful for storage of data. For industrial usage you can store contents, formulas, accounts, etc. DESIGNING Information technology is totally different form the old ways of products and development designing. It does not requires any paper or pen. It includes soft wares which are helpful for designing and development.

SUPPORT Information technology is a very friendly tool to be used up till now. It supports all data processing and communicates able devices. It easily connects to the device by the means of wires, wireless, infrared , Bluetooth, etc.

SECURE DATA Information technology guarantees the security and backup facility for data. Industries have hundreds of data transfers at a single second of time. i.t improves its quality of storing data.

THATS WHY INDUSTRY MOVES FOR

Every day, people use computers in new ways. Computers and other electronic devices are becoming increasingly affordable. They continue to be more powerful as information-processing tools as well as easier to use. Humans are continually becoming dependant on IT-enabled devices for carrying out simple tasks like remembering a phone number to complex ones like flying a fighter plane. Information Technology has applications in almost all aspects of our life.

MEETING THE NEEDS OF POPULATION. Eventually technology will become so advanced and useful that it causes the human race to stop evolving. Thomas Malthus pointed out that during times of famine and poverty population rates go down. Charles Darwin took this idea and created how evolution works, which is that only the fit survive that is only people who have the best genetics live on to reproduce. Because Technology works to fix the hardships of people, the people no longer need to

adapt to the problem. Because we don't evolve to be weak or insufficeint there will be no new problems developing. That said it isn't how technology changes to meet the needs of people it is how technology grows so that there are no more needs. EFFICIENT PRODUCTION

Disturbance reduction techniques are a combination for improving efficiency in manufacturing systems. The modeling allows different tests to be carried out by stepby-step alteration. The use of manufacturing improvement techniques should be combined for best results. The changes in disturbances will show us different alternatives in output of the manufacturing system. Two case studies have been drawn up to study the possibilities for disturbance reduction in manufacturing systems with the proposed method for improved overall manufacturing efficiency. The case studies showed an improvement of output of 14 per cent and 18 per cent, respectively.

CONTROLS This technology is also one of the fastest changing, and today's industrial control System vendors are quick to implement the latest technologies in sensor design and network capabilities.

INFORMATION Information technology makes you able to collect information regarding your industry. This information may be from external or internal reporters. You can calculate and compare your performance easily.

SECURITY Information technology improves the security issues in a production department. Sensors and cameras are connected to the computers to monitor the activities. If any problem occurs they respond instantly. Therefore no threat if you are in favor of information technology .

The most inspiring technology now a day is e productivity. Companies are feeling relax of heavy and variety of production. One of common example is paint industry. They are producing a variety of colors to satisfy their customers.

REAL TIME AUTOMATION Automation is the use of systems and information technologies to reduce the need for human work in the production of goods and services. In the scope of industrialization, automation is a step beyond mechanization. Whereas mechanization provides human operators with machinery to assist them with the muscular requirements of work, automation greatly decreases the need for human sensory and mental requirements as well. Automation plays an increasingly important role in the world economy and in daily experience. Automation has had a notable impact in a wide range of industries beyond manufacturing telephone operators have been replaced largely by automated telephone switchboards and answering

machines. Medical processes such as primary screening in electrocardiography or radiography and laboratory analysis of human genes, sera, cells, and tissues are carried out at much greater speed and accuracy by automated systems. Automated teller machines have reduced the need for bank visits to obtain cash and carry out transactions. In general, automation has been responsible for the shift in the world economy from industrial jobs to service jobs in the 20th and 21st centuries. ADVANCED CONTROLS Advanced process control is a broad term composed of different kinds of process control tools, often used for solving multivariable control problems or discrete control problem. Advanced control describes a practice which draws elements from many disciplines ranging from control engineering, signal processing, statistics, decision theory and artificial intelligence. APC can be found in the (petro) chemical industries where it makes it possible to control multivariable control problems. Since these controllers contain the dynamic relationships between variables it can predict in the future how variables will behave. Based on these predictions, actions can be taken now to maintain variables within limits

There is hardly anyone who has not been affected or influenced by IT. With each passing day, newer applications of IT are being developed which increase our interaction with and dependence on IT-enabled devices. Therefore, understanding this technology and using it creatively is imperative to human progress.
