Automation
The control of production processes by machines with human intervention reduced to a minimum. E.g., the automatic pilot of an airplane, a computer -controlled pharmaceutical plant. During the industrial revolution, mechanization relieved man from the more extreme burdens of physical labor, while in the current information revolution, automation relieves man from certain repetitive and mathematically complex information processing and control tasks (see robot ). (krippendorff )

Automation
Automation (ancient Greek: = self dictated), roboticization[1] 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.
