What is an automation model?
An automation model takes a data collection or data manipulation and automates either a segment of the process or the whole process. This is done in order to increase operator efficiency and productivity when completing a difficult task and reduces human error. Automation models may be used for a multitude of purposes including sales models, data movement between systems, payroll collection and other related data collection, operation variables, data consolidation and many other applications (the uses are endless as long as the process requirements exist). There are a number of requirements that must be met before an automation model can be created. Please refer to the question listed below for examples.
