Automation technology is an increasingly important part of modern companies as it increases efficiency and raises productivity. Through the use of machines and software, repetitive tasks can be automated, resulting in time and cost savings. Automation also helps to reduce errors, as automated systems work more accurately and consistently than human labour[1][2].
Advantages of automation technology
One major advantage of automation technology is the improvement in efficiency. Robots can do up to three times more work in the same amount of time without taking a break. This allows companies to fulfil more orders with the same staff and resources, which is particularly valuable when labour markets are tight and customer demand is high[2].
Automation technology is also shaping the concept of process optimisation. In industry, it leads to an increase in productivity and makes it possible to work without interruption. This not only leads to an increase in the quality of the end products, but also to a flexibilisation of production, which enables faster adjustments to new market requirements[6][8].
Reduction of errors and fatigue
Automation technology also helps to reduce human error and fatigue. Humans tend to make mistakes in repetitive tasks, which can be minimised through automation. In addition, automated systems often take over dangerous or monotonous tasks, which improves the safety and health of workers[2].
BEST PRACTICE at the customer (name hidden due to NDA contract)A company in the automotive industry has used automation technology in production to speed up assembly processes and reduce the error rate. The use of robots has increased production speed by 30 % and improved product quality.
Practical applications of automation technology
The areas of application for automation technology are diverse and range from manufacturing to logistics. In industry, for example, it is used in process automation to monitor and control chemical processes or food processing[3][5].
Another practical example is automation in accounting. By using AI-supported tools, the processing of invoices and receipts can be automated, which leads to a significant reduction in manual effort[9].
BEST PRACTICE at the customer (name hidden due to NDA contract)A large shipping company has used automation technology in logistics to speed up the sorting and dispatch of parcels. With the help of autonomous vehicles, the delivery time was reduced by an average of 24 hours.
Strategic integration of automation technology
Careful planning and integration into existing processes is necessary in order to fully utilise the benefits of automation technology. This includes identifying suitable areas of application and training employees. A clear strategy helps companies to utilise automation technology effectively and benefit from the advantages in the long term[10].
My analysis
To summarise, automation technology offers companies significant benefits, from increasing efficiency to reducing errors. By integrating these technologies, companies can increase their productivity and become more competitive. Automation technology is an important step towards intelligent and sustainable production.
