of processes. The aim of automation is to boost efficiency and reliability (not to be confuses

significantly.

functions that humans used to do. The term ‘manufacturing’ refers to converting raw
materials and components into finished goods, usually on a large scale in a factory.

Automation encompasses many key elements, systems, and job functions in virtually all
industries. It is especially prevalent in manufacturing, transportation, facility operations, and
utilities. Additionally, national defense systems are becoming increasingly automated. It
exists also in all functions within industry including integration, installation, procurement,
maintenance, and even marketing and sales.
