Process Automation refers to the use of technology to control and monitor the processes of manufacturing, production, or other industrial processes to reduce human intervention and increase efficiency, accuracy, and consistency. It involves the use of control systems such as Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), and Distributed Control Systems (DCS) to automate repetitive tasks, gather data, and manage systems. Process automation can be applied across various industries, including manufacturing, chemical processing, oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, and many others.
