Automation System

A Automation System is a system that can be used to create automation solutions (that support automation tasks).

• Context:
  • It can typically execute Automation Workflows with automation technology.
  • It can typically eliminate Automation Human Intervention through automation intelligence.
  • It can typically control Automation Processes using automation mechanisms.
  • It can typically monitor Automation Operations via automation sensors.
  • It can typically optimize Automation Performance through automation algorithms.
  • ...
  • It can often integrate Automation Components for automation efficiency.
  • It can often adapt Automation Behavior to automation conditions.
  • It can often provide Automation Feedback through automation interfaces.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Simple Automation System to being a Complex Automation System, depending on its automation sophistication.
  • It can range from being a Specialized Automation System to being a General-Purpose Automation System, depending on its automation application scope.
  • ...
  • It can connect to External Systems for automation data exchange.
  • It can support Human Operators through automation assistance.
  • It can maintain Automation States via automation memory.
  • ...
• Examples:
  • Automation System Types, such as:
    • Industrial Automation Systems, such as:
      • Manufacturing Automation System for automation production tasks.
      • Process Automation System for automation control tasks.
    • AI Labor Automation Systems, such as:
      • White-Collar Automation System for automation knowledge work tasks.
      • Blue-Collar Automation System for automation manual tasks.
  • Automation System Implementations, such as:
    • Hardware-Based Automation Systems, such as:
      • Robotic Automation System for automation physical tasks.
      • Sensor-Based Automation System for automation monitoring tasks.
    • Software-Based Automation Systems, such as:
      • Workflow Automation System for automation business processes.
      • Document Automation System for automation paperwork tasks.
  • ...
• Counter-Examples:
  • Manual Systems, which require human intervention rather than automation.
  • Semi-Automated Systems, which only partially eliminate human involvement.
  • Monitoring Systems, which observe but don't perform automation actions.
