Overview
Automation refers to the use of various technologies to reduce human intervention in processes, mainly by predetermining decision criteria, subprocess relationships, and related actions. This is achieved through mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical, electronic devices, and computers, usually in combination. The benefits of automation include labor savings, reducing waste, savings in electricity costs, savings in material costs, and improvements to quality, accuracy, and precision. According to [[wikidata|Wikidata]], automation is an academic discipline, industry, and technology that uses control systems to perform processes with minimal human assistance. As noted by [[ieee|IEEE]], automation has the potential to increase productivity and efficiency in various sectors. With the rise of [[artificial-intelligence|artificial intelligence]] and [[internet-of-things|Internet of Things]], automation is becoming increasingly important in modern industries.
