Abstract
This chapter looks at the application areas for controlled drives in highly automated production facilities. It starts by describing the typical characteristics of such production facilities. What is being produced, in what quantities and which production sequences are being deployed? The route from factory to end user (which usually passes via large-scale highly automated logistics centres) is also described.
