How automation is crucial for the next decade?

We live in an era where we are no stranger to automation. The cutting-edge advancement in technologies is enhancing almost every aspect of our lives. Back in the 16th century, a water frame was the first-ever automated, then humans advanced to systems with automatic control designed for the regulation of steam engines, temperature control, and other applications. Humans have come a long way since then. Today there are more machines in a house than humans, as time is passing the need is increasing. We are relying more and more on the machines that surround us. This trend is proof that automation is crucial for the coming decade.

Similarly, the healthcare sector is also a stranger to such development. Healthcare leaders are determined to create compliant, safe, optimally performing facilities that uphold excellent standards of care. The automation in healthcare is benefiting this planet ranging from robots being used in surgeries to as small as to automation helping to eliminate the need for paper in a healthcare setting. Doctors and nurses now have access to information on tablets and other devices. In the past few decades so any new contributions have made it possible for more effective medicines, improved diagnostic assistance, and technological solutions to non-invasive procedures.

It is well-established that automation will majorly affect many industries over the coming years. The need for automation can be justified by many benefits reasons such as:

• Higher production rates and increased productivity, more effectual use of materials, the better quality of products, ameliorate safety, shorter workweeks for labor, etc. Higher output and increased productivity are two of the biggest reasons. Even though it’s true that the high-quality workmanship provided by humans is exceptional but the automated systems perform the manufacturing process with less variability than human workers, resulting in more control and consistency in the quality of the product. Along with this, the increased control in the process makes more efficient use of materials, resulting in less scrap.
• Worker safety is one of the most important reasons for automating an industrial operation. Automated systems often remove workers from the workplace, thus safeguarding them against the hazards of the factory environment. Employees benefit from the use of automation where it is impossible to employ humans, the technology performs repetitive, unsafe, and potentially hazardous job activities. Workers can be shielded from temperature extremes or radioactive/toxic environments. The onset of the coronavirus pandemic serves as the most recent example where the human interaction had to be cut down for the safety of the health of the workers. The automated industry helped with dealing with tasks that were hazardous to humans.
• Another very alluring benefit of automation is the reduction in the number of hours worked on average per week by factory workers. Mechanization and automation have played a significant role in this reduction, the work that took hours is now being done in minutes or seconds.

The healthcare industry took a major blow recently being struck with a pandemic. The industry gave it all and has been able to tackle it effectively and continuously working for a better future. The pandemic made us realize our fault and guided us to even more advancement. The way our healthcare industry changes in the next decade may be an evolution, unlike any other industry.
