Process automation
Process automation refers to the technical execution of recurring workflows according to defined rules, without each step having to be triggered continuously by employees. In this context, capture events are passed directly to an interface or to downstream systems and processed further there. This creates coordinated workflows with clear status changes, a lower level of manual intervention and consistently usable information. The term covers not only the identification of objects, but also the digital triggering, transfer and processing of process steps across multiple stations. The automated continuation of events shortens response paths and relieves workloads at workstations in manufacturing and intralogistics.
