Automation refers to a broad spectrum of technology that minimizes human intervention in manual processes. Reducing human intervention reduces human error, human resource costs and increases the efficiency with which information is processed and managed. Eliminating human error reduces the risk of costly errors in process engineering and increased profitability. Reducing human error also simplifies implementing modifications to a process, making it more effective and reducing operation costs and time-frame. Subsequently, incorporating those modifications into machines increases machine longevity and operational effectiveness, making the system more economical to operate and increasing investment return.
