Automation or automatic control, is the use of various control systems for operating equipment such as machinery, processes in factories, boilers and heat treating ovens, switching on telephone networks, steering and stabilization of ships, aircraft and other applications and vehicles with minimal or reduced human intervention.

Some processes have been completely automated.

An Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) is a company that makes a part or subsystem that is used in another company's end product.

For example, if Acme Manufacturing Co. makes power cords that are used on IBM computers, Acme is an OEM.

A wire is a single, usually cylindrical, flexible strand or rod of metal.

Wires are used to bear mechanical loads or electricity and telecommunications signals.

Wire is commonly formed by drawing the metal through a hole in a die or draw plate.

Wire gauges come in various standard sizes, as expressed in terms of a gauge number.

The term wire is also used more loosely to refer to a bundle of such strands, as in "multistranded wire", which is more correctly termed a wire rope in mechanics, or a cable in electricity.

Control engineering or control systems engineering is the engineering discipline that applies control theory to design systems with desired behaviors.

The practice uses sensors to measure the output performance of the device being controlled and those measurements can be used to give feedback to the input actuators that can make corrections toward desired performance.

When a device is designed to perform without the need of human inputs for correction it is called automatic control (such as cruise control for regulating the speed of a car).

Multi-disciplinary in nature, control systems engineering activities focus on implementation of control systems mainly derived by mathematical modeling of systems of a diverse range.

A screw is a type of fastener, sometimes similar to a bolt (see Differentiation between bolt and screw below), typically made of metal, and characterized by a helical ridge, known as a male thread (external thread) or just thread.
