In this graduate thesis is covered topic of implementing of automation systems in the production process, recognition and correct introduction of the automation process is a key factor in the further development of the production process, so the paper begins with the assumption that before thinking about the introduction of the automation process it is necessary to analyze and consider aspects of the production process. the application of automation for individual technological processes such as: casting, processing of casting mold mixture, processing of polymer materials, metal forming by deformation, modern production procedures, and assembly of product parts. Automation is a continuation of the process of mechanization, because only a process that is sufficiently mechanized can be automated. In a broader sense, it encompasses all measures and processes that reduce the share of human work, observations and decision-makings. The first part of thesis is covered a basic approach to automation; the second part of the paper consists of two chapters in which one is explained: the application of automation in individual technological processes, and SWOT analysis of centralized and decentralized automation; and in the third part of the thesis is covored the life cycle of factory automation systems, quality control, and on the basis of the given chapters, a conclusion was drawn.
