What is automation?

Automation is used to reduce human intervention as much as possible. It uses control systems to operate machinery.

Automation is mostly used on factory floors, but the technology is now starting to reach out to the wider world.

It is being used in manufacturing, transportation, utilities, defence, facility operations, home, marketing and the list continues.

There are different types of automation, including discrete control, continuous control, open and closed loop, sequential control, and computer control.
