Automation or automatic control, is the use of various control systems for operating equipment such as machinery, processes in factories, boilers and heat treating ovens, switching on telephone networks, steering and stabilization of ships, aircraft and other applications with minimal or reduced human intervention. Some processes have been completely automated.
The biggest benefit of automation is that it saves labor, however, it is also used to save energy and materials and to improve quality, accuracy and precision.
The term automation, inspired by the earlier word automatic (coming from automaton), was not widely used before 1947, when General Motors established an automation department. It was during this time that industry was rapidly adopting feedback controllers, which were introduced in the 1930s.
Automation has been achieved by various means including mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical, electronic devices and computers, usually in combination. Complicated systems, such as modern factories, airplanes and ships typically use all these combined techniques.

Beverage decasing: http://robot.fanucamerica.com/Products/Robots/food-grade-robots.aspx FANUC America Authorized System Integrator StrongPoint Automation developed this automated beverage decasing system to utilize six FANUC M-710iC/50H robots to remove cases of beverage bottles from a pallet and place them onto a conveyor. The system process starts as each of the six lines is loaded by a forklift with six pallets of different-flavored beverage bottles – this particular industry called for glass bottles with beer and wine cooler products. Each of the six FANUC robots in the system is synchronized to grab a single case at a time and move all cases onto the mainline at the same time. Six different-flavored cases enter the system one after the other as the FANUC robots unload them. The pur...
I called your number on the telephone
Heard it ring but it didn't ring long
Came the sound of your answering machine
Threw my hands up and I started to scream
You're so auto-mated
You're so auto-mated
Went to the bank to cash my check
Pulled to the buttons and I strained my neck
What I saw made my face grow long
The readout says that I'm a overdrawn
You're so auto-mated
You're so auto-mated
Dreamed I was standing in a government line
Had me hooked up gonna read my mind
I was waiting for the guillotine pedal
'Cause they're gonna find that I'm a thought rebel
You're so auto-mated
