AUTOMATION
Automation is the use of control systems for operating equipment, machinery and processes with minimal or reduced human intervention.
The word ‘Automation’ is derived from Greek words “Auto”(self) and “Matos” (moving). Automation is the mechanism for systems that “move by itself”. Automated systems achieve significantly superior performance than manual systems in terms of power, precision and speed of operation.
Automation is a set of technologies that results in operation of machines and systems without significant human intervention and achieves performance superior to manual operation.
