Automation is the process by which it seeks to replace the physical and intellectual human activities by other means in order to reduce the direct human involvement. It is a term born by the fusion of the words automatic and operation and it emphasizes the technique, method or system to operate or control a process through highly automated means, such as electronic devices, minimizing human intervention.
The word “automation” (in the English form) was coined in the United States in 1948 to appoint some advanced processes of that period, introduced particularly in the automotive industry. Since then the term was widely disseminated with the meaning of use of machines to make functioning other machines.
Reached so a further stage the line of technological development that had led first to replace the man as provider of energy needed to work, then as a performer of rigid management programs (through repetitive cycles) and finally – just with automation – even as “intelligent” manager capable of deciding a case by case, depending on every singular situation, the most appropriate action to be taken to achieve the desired objectives.
You can say that automation and automatically control allow the use of power developed by machinery. Unlike many physical systems that by their nature tend to “operate” in the balance, machinery and industrial plants to be used should be regulated (or controlled or automated).
Today automation pervades what surrounds us: from telecommunications to transport, from industry to agriculture. All this has improved human life, avoiding repetitive tasks, allowing the realization of areas that require the management of a large number of devices in a coordinated manner and with response times far below those of man.
