Foreword

Modern engineering systems are supported by automation and control systems enabled by emerging technologies such as smart sensors, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT). This shapes how products and processes are designed, manufactured and managed especially complex processes. The principles of automation and control finds application in smart factories, autonomous vehicles energy systems and robotics which are central to technological advancement in the 21st century.

This book, Principles of Automation and Control II, provides useful insights into the fundamental concepts of automation and control and how the enabling technologies can be explored. It bridges the gap between theory and practical application, thus, offering readers a clear understanding of system modelling, control system, AI and IoT.

The balanced approach of this book makes it particularly valuable. It introduces core theoretical foundations and demonstrate the real-world applications, thus providing useful insights and procedural steps into how practical engineering challenges can be tackled. The integration of emerging topics such as intelligent control and data-driven approaches ensure that the book remains relevant in an era driven by data and digital transformation.

This book will serve as a valuable resource across multiple disciples. Furthermore, it will particularly be useful for students, educators, and practicing engineers as a guide to automation and control principles. It is my belief that readers will find both inspiration and practical knowledge in this book.
