Automation involves the modification of the hardware and/or software of a system, in order to enhance the control over its process. Automating a system provides many benefits to a company. Automated systems have the ability to display and/or record all critical process parameters in a central location, such as a personal computer, which simplifies process monitoring.
​
In addition, tighter process control results in a repeatable and reliable process, which means fewer out-of-specification batches, less waste, and a reduction in investigation time. Reduction of these factors translates into lower operating costs and a dramatic increase in production output.
