Automation is nothing but the use of controlled systems such as robots, computers, and IT for managing machines and processes to replace human efforts. The goal of automation is to improve the quality and flexibility of manufacturing processes. Fueled by bots, automation eliminates data redundancy while automating repetitive, rule-based tasks with a scheduled setup. Automation has drastically transformed factory floors, the nature of employment, the quality of end products as well as the economics of the industry. The world is on the cusp of an innovative automation era and is rapidly evolving in terms of robotics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning.
