Abstract

The paper deals with the problems of introduction of modern automated solutions in a big industrial company located in the Wielkopolska region in Poland. It shows the inevitable role of human factor in such systems and the effects when no enough attention is being focused on the design, installation, maintenance and other functions which are mainly done by the humans. In such systems there should be done a reasonable division of operational tasks between an operator and machine.
