Automatization
Automatization has revolutionized the world
Since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, machines have played a key role in increasing the productivity of companies, providing a greater amount of goods at lower costs, and ultimately increasing the standard of living for large segments of society. Automatization, in essence, is the use of machinery rather than humans in production. A prime example of automatization is the use of robots in a vehicle assembly line. However, other examples might include software programs and hardware packages that gather and print addresses onto envelopes in preparation for mass mailings.
Studying automatization
Automatization is an engineering field and has many applications. A university degree in automatization could be part of an industrial engineering department or in the computer science field. Many students choose an emphasis or minor in automatization while pursuing a bachelor or master degree as part of a broader course of study in engineering.
