Industrial automation control systems involve the integration of devices, machines, and equipment within the manufacturing plant. As mentioned above, however, they can also go further than this by integrating the system on the plant floor with the rest of the organisation..
In the industrial setting, we typicall reffer to an area which is sectioned-off for the DCS (distributed control systems) and SIS (safety instrument systems) systems a rack room. Mainly because this is where multipair instrument cables are "racked" on terminal strips for wiring beneath a raised floor.

Do you need an enclosure for your industrial control system?
All electronics, from you phone to your industrial control system need an enclosure to protect them
What is the RACK2 control system?
Designed for the really big jobs, or whenever you just need a lot of control ports in one place, the RACK2 is a 2-Series control system processor featuring a 12-slot expansion card cage and optional Ethernet
Have a question? Crestron 2-Series Control Systems are the brain of a complete integrated AV or automation solution
What is the RACK2 front panel?
The RACK2's front panel serves as a ready user interface for system configuration and diagnostics, and can also be custom programmed to enable menu-driven control capability
To minimize downtime in the event of a fatal processor failure, the RACK2 is designed with a field-replaceable CPU card that is easily accessible from the rear panel

Material handling storage aid system designed to store materials on pallets
Pallet rack is a material handling storage aid system designed to store materials on pallets. Although there are many varieties of pallet racking, all types allow for the storage of palletized materials in horizontal rows with multiple levels. Forklift trucks are usually required to place the loaded pallets onto the racks for storage. Since the Second World War, pallet racks have become a ubiquitous element of most modern warehouses, manufacturing facilities, retail centers, and other storage and distribution facilities. All types of pallet racking increase storage density of the stored goods. Costs associated with the racking increases with increasing storage density.
A rack and pinion is a type of linear actuator that
Type of linear actuator
A rack and pinion is a type of linear actuator that comprises a circular gear engaging a linear gear. Together, they convert rotational motion into linear motion. Rotating the pinion causes the rack to be driven in a line. Conversely, moving the rack linearly will cause the pinion to rotate. A rack and pinion drive can use both straight and helical gears. Though some suggest helical gears are quieter in operation, no hard evidence supports this theory. Helical racks, while being more affordable, have proven to increase side torque on the datums, increasing operating temperature leading to premature wear. Straight racks require a lower driving force and offer increased torque and speed per percentage of gear ratio which allows lower operating temperature and lessens viscal friction and energy use. The maximum force that can be transmitted in a rack and pinion mechanism is determined by the tooth pitch and the size of the pinion as well as the gear ratio.
A rack railway is a steep grade railway
Steep-grade railway with a toothed rack rail
A rack railway is a steep grade railway with a toothed rack rail, usually between the running rails. The trains are fitted with one or more cog wheels or pinions that mesh with this rack rail. This allows the trains to operate on steep grades above 10%, which is the maximum for friction-based rail. Most rack railways are mountain railways, although a few are transit railways or tramways built to overcome a steep gradient in an urban environment.
A remote racking system or remote racking device is a system that allows an operator racking in and out a withdrawable circuit breaker from a remote location. It offers a safe alternative to manually racking circuit breakers, which reduces the requirement for service personnel to wear a full-body arc flash hazard suit for protection.
Brand of digital mixing consoles
VENUE is a brand of live sound digital mixing consoles introduced by Digidesign in February 2005. The family now includes 5 different consoles and a number of ways they can be configured. They can all be connected to Pro Tools, the audio editing software also created by Avid/Digidesign, to provide recording and 'Virtual Soundcheck' facilities. One of the system's key marketing points is its use of the same AAX DSP/TDM plugins as Pro Tools, an industry standard digital audio workstation (DAW). This is designed to enable the sounds recorded by the artist in the studio to be easily recreated on stage, and to allow for greater flexibility in signal processing without heavy and mechanical-shock-sensitive racks of external processors. There is also a PC-based offline editor for creation and editing of show files, although there is no audio processing in the editor.
A wash rack is a partly enclosed extiw>platform that is used to wash vehicles, heavy equipment, tools, and parts by removing dirt, grime, chemicals, invasive species, and other contaminants with a pressure washer in order to prevent corrosion and promote longer equipment lifespan. Cars, trucks, boats, construction and maintenance equipment, and even aircraft and military vehicles can all be cleaned in a wash rack. Wash racks are usually mobile and constructed from steel, although plastic wash racks exist as well as concrete formed alternatives which are sometimes installed in permanent facilities.
