DEFINITION
Business process
Automation
Uses of technology to automate processes
throughout an manufacturing process and
Uses an advanced technology to complete
business processes with minimal human
intervention.
Order processing, quality assurance,
engineering change control, government
and industry compliance represent areas for
manufacturing process automation. When
those processes are automated they enable
near real-time decision-making and
auditability
Automating business processes minimizes
costs, increases efficiency, and streamlines
processes from simple to complex.

REASON
Reason

Founded Since 1940

Evolved over time as a
result of technological
advancements and
industry needs.

The concept of automation in manufacturing dates back many decades, with early examples of mechanical and pneumatic systems
automating certain tasks in production lines. However, as technology progressed, particularly in the fields of computing, robotics,
and software, the potential for broader and more sophisticated automation in manufacturing became evident. Various companies and
organizations have played significant roles in the development and implementation of BPA in manufacturing. These include
technology companies specializing in robotics, industrial automation, software development, and enterprise resource planning (ERP)
systems.

REAL WORLD EXAMPLES

Examples

Tesla: Tesla, the electric vehicle manufacturer, heavily relies on

automation in its manufacturing processes. They have
implemented a high degree of automation in their assembly lines,
utilizing robots and automated guided vehicles (AGVs) to
streamline production and improve efficiency.

BMW: BMW, the automotive manufacturer, has implemented

automation in various stages of their manufacturing process. They
utilize robots for tasks such as welding, painting, and assembly.
Automation has helped BMW increase production efficiency,
improve product quality, and reduce cycle times.

Amazon: Amazon has incorporated automation extensively in its

fulfillment centers. They use a combination of robots and
conveyance systems to automate material handling, inventory
management, and order processing. This automation enables
faster order fulfillment, reduces errors, and improves the overall
customer experience.
