Industrial Automation is defined by the Automation Federation as "the creation and application of technology to monitor and control the production and delivery of products and services." 

Automation reduces the man power required to complete the process and also saves time.

In many areas of manufacturing automation is necessary where a labour or a worker could not work or the conditions for a human to work is not available.

Eg: Processes requiring very high accuracy such as manufacturing of microprocessors, areas involving radiation, etc.,
