Automation refers to a field of technology and engineering that performs industrial processes and operations, usually through automated systems such as computers, robots, or control systems. This is a concept that finds application in a wide range of areas, from production line in manufacturing facilities to data analysis and reporting.
The main goal of automation is to reduce human intervention by making business processes more efficient, reliable and cost-effective. Automation can perform repetitive tasks in manufacturing processes, process complex data, and coordinate systems. This can increase productivity, reduce error rates and provide a competitive advantage across industries.
It aims to create smarter and connected production systems by combining automation with modern production concepts such as industry 4.0 and working in integration with technologies such as sensors, internet connection, big data analysis and artificial intelligence. In this way, companies can respond to changing market demands more quickly and flexibly.
