This article discusses trends of production development in the engineering industry. The need to control automation processes at various stages of product manufacture has been identified. It was concluded that automation leads to increasing the efficiency of production, economic activities and quality of products, as well as making and introducing new products. On the basis of Russian and foreign experience the key stages of realization of automatic control system for technological processes were pointed out. Using the example of Business Units, the stages of implementing the latest automated equipment were considered. The project team conducted a survey of the business unit and determined that automation of the casting process in the foundry should be carried out. As a result, it was proposed to introduce an automatic cutting and grinding complex into the production process. These innovations made it possible to reduce the enterprise expenses by reducing the number of employees, as well as reduce the percentage of defects. Moreover, it became possible to solve a number of other significant problems: a decrease in the waste percentage, the need to meet the world requirements for the result of processing, elimination of the consequences of difficult working conditions (reduction in the number of accidents, noise levels and concomitant diseases). The results can be used not only for the considered objects of research, but also for organizations of other industries in order to increase the efficiency of activities through the introduction of automation of the control system of technological processes.
