Antwan Benitez · Answer 2

The correct answer is:

A. The use of robotic equipment in a manufacturing process.

Explanation:

Automation is a system or method where a manufacturing or other production process is made by automatic systems or machines and there is little or no need of human intervention.

Automation makes a process more efficient and increases the production rates, quality control and safety, it decreases the probability of errors and the number of hours factory employers work. Even though automation has lots of advantages, one of its biggest disadvantage is work displacement, many workers have lost their jobs because of automatic machines; other disadvantage is the high investment companies need to make on automatic machines and their maintenance.
