The science and practice of machinery or mechanisms that are so self-controlled and automatic that manual input is not necessary during operation. The technique of making a process automatic or self-controlling.
Is a self-controlling or self-moving processes.
The process of writing a set of instructions that are designed, scripted, tested, and checked in by a person, then executed by a machine, to produce results that can be analyzed. B - C

The entire field of investigation, design, development, application, and methods of rendering or making processes or machines self-acting or self- moving; rendering automatic; theory, art or technique of making a device, machine, process or procedure more fully automatic; the implementation of a self-acting or self-moving, hence, automatic process or machine.
the act of implementing the control of equipment with advanced technology; usually involving electronic hardware; "automation replaces human workers by machines"
the condition of being automatically operated or controlled; "automation increases productivity"
equipment used to achieve automatic control or operation; "this factory floor is a showcase for automation and robotic equipment"
a company specializing in scientific software development for behavior modeling, control, failure detection and prediction applied to industrial process control, plants, and machines
(1) The conversion to and implementation of procedures, processes, or equipment by automated means. (2) Industrial open- or closed-loop control systems in which the manual operation of controls is replaced by servo operation.
The condition of being automated; any system or method that uses self-operating equipment, electronic devices, etc. to replace human beings in doing routine or repetitive work actions.
any process change that results in electronic control of a repetitive action, usually to improve accuracy, increase speed, provide greater safety or to free people for other activities
Techniques of self-regulation and self-control for systems that reduce the amount of human supervision required for a machine or process.
Industry term commonly used to describe the mechanization of various aspects of the die casting process.
Source: Economics: Principles & Practices Definition: production with mechanical or other processes that reduces the need for workers (p.386)
ta-'mâ-shen/ The replacement of low-skill workers with mechanical equipment. Automation is often the result of a wage mandate increase. By increasing the cost of labor, living wage ordinances provide an incentive for employers to invest in this equipment.
Automatic, as opposed to human, operation or control of a process, equipment or a system; or the techniques and equipment used to achieve this. In libraries, automation refers to the process of automating functions such as circulation, cataloging, or acquisitions. Go to Top
The automatic, self regulating control of equipment, systems, or processes
a system of manufacturing in which many or all of the operations are done by machine.
A means of adding intelligence to an industrial process by using machines and computers. Automating a process decreases the need for people to directly participate in the process. It also improves the performance, accuracy, and reliability of a process.
Automation broadly means things happening automatically but in radio terms, it refers to the playback of pre-recorded or pre-prepared radio shows without the need for human intervention. Typically, and automated show consists of a list of songs, jingles, adverts and other events that has be pre-prepared and the Playout system will automatically play each of the items in the show in sequence. Automation allows a radio station to run for extended periods without anyone being in front of the PC.
Compatible Mail - Mail that can be scanned and processed by automated mail processing equipment such as a barcode sorter.
A process which places a barcode on your mail piece. This process will save you money and will be delivered faster.
the technique of making an apparatus, a process, or a system operate by itself. A CNC milling machine is an automated version of a manual milling machine.
A self-driven computing of chance from which human initiative has been excluded, and an interruption of this process in informative situations intended by humans.
The degree to which activities of machines or production systems are self-acting.
The automatic control if a process of system - one that does not need a human to control it.
Automatic, as opposed to human, operation or control of a process, equipment or a system. Automation also refers to the techniques and equipment used to achieve this automatic control.
Automatic, rather than human, control systems.
The substitution of machine work for human physical and mental work, or the use of machines for work not otherwise able to be accomplished, entailing a less continuous interaction with humans than previous equipment used for similar tasks.
The use of automatic equipment to save mental and manual labor.
The mechanization of a process or procedure to provide labor savings, better control over the process or quality, and/or speed of service.
Automation (ancient Greek: = self dictated), roboticizationhttp://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m3MKT/is_v93/ai_3937337 or industrial automation or numerical control is the use of control systems such as computers to control industrial machinery and processes, replacing human operators. In the scope of industrialization, it is a step beyond mechanization. Whereas mechanization provided human operators with machinery to assist them with the physical requirements of work, automation greatly reduces the need for human sensory and mental requirements as well.
