Flexible automation is an extension of programmable automation.
Programmable automation is a form of automation for producing products in batches.
A numerical-control machine tool is a good example of programmable automation.
Three types of automation in production can be distinguished: (1) fixed automation, (2) programmable automation, and (3) flexible automation.
Production rates in programmable automation are generally lower than in fixed automation, because the equipment is designed to facilitate product changeover rather than for product specialization.
The disadvantage with programmable automation is the time required to reprogram and change over the production equipment for each batch of new product.
