Automation

Automation is the use of technology to perform tasks that would otherwise require human intervention. This process involves the execution of predetermined sequences and actions efficiently and consistently, often through control systems, software, and various machinery. Automation can be found across numerous fields, including manufacturing, information technology, and service industries. Its primary goals are to increase productivity, enhance accuracy, reduce labor costs, and improve safety by minimizing human error in repetitive or hazardous tasks. Automation can be categorized into several types, such as fixed, programmable, and flexible automation, each catering to different needs and operational requirements. With advancements in technology, particularly in artificial intelligence and robotics, automation continues to evolve, enabling more complex tasks to be performed autonomously.
