    There is a general consensus among historians that the roots of the industrial engineering profession date back to the Industrial Revolution.The technologies that helped mechanize traditional manual operations in the textile industry including the flying shuttle, the spinning jenny, and perhaps most importantly the steam engine generated economies of scale that made mass production in ...

  4. Industrial architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_architecture

    Industrial architecture is the design and construction of buildings facilitating the needs of the industrial sector. The architecture revolving around the industrial world uses a variety of building designs and styles to consider the safe flow, distribution and production of goods and labor. [ 1 ]

  5. Captive power plant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captive_power_plant

    Captive power plants are generally used by power-intensive industries where continuity and quality of energy supply are crucial, such as aluminum smelters, steel plants, chemical plants, etc. [3] However, the radical cost declines for solar power systems have enabled the opportunity for less energy-intensive industries to economically grid defect by coupling solar PV with generators or ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_ecology

    Industrial ecology (IE) is the study of material and energy flows through industrial systems. The global industrial economy can be modelled as a network of industrial processes that extract resources from the Earth and transform those resources into by-products , products and services which can be bought and sold to meet the needs of humanity.

    The roots of the industrial engineering profession date back to the Industrial Revolution.The technologies that helped mechanize traditional manual operations in the textile industry including the Flying shuttle, the Spinning jenny, and perhaps most importantly the Steam engine generated Economies of scale that made Mass production in centralized locations attractive for the first time.

  8. Process layout - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_layout

    Note that layout for a production system reflects a conceived organisation of resources to achieve a certain goal, besides satisfying certain space constraints. In manufacturing engineering , process layout is a design for the floor plan of a plant which aims to improve efficiency by arranging equipment according to its function. [ 1 ]

  9. Industrial process control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_process_control

    The fundamental building block of any industrial control system is the control loop, which controls just one process variable. An example is shown in the accompanying diagram, where the flow rate in a pipe is controlled by a PID controller , assisted by what is effectively a cascaded loop in the form of a valve servo-controller to ensure ...
