This text investigates the integration of microprocessors and micro-computing systems into industrial process monitoring and product quality assurance. The work provides a technical framework for engineers and plant managers to transition from manual or analog control systems to digital, microprocessor-based architectures. It addresses the challenges of real-time data acquisition, sensor interfacing, and the implementation of automated feedback loops in manufacturing environments.

The subject matter points to a specialized, technical manual intended for industrial engineers and systems designers working in the late 1980s manufacturing sector. The framing suggests a focus on the practical application of emerging digital control technologies to improve production efficiency and consistency.
