An Automated Process is a process that operates without human intervention, using technology and systems to execute tasks and workflows.
- Context:
- It can (typically) be used in manufacturing, business operations, and IT systems to increase efficiency and reduce human error.
- It can involve various technologies such as robotic process automation (RPA), artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML).
- It can be triggered by predefined rules, schedules, or events to perform tasks like data entry, customer service interactions, and transaction processing.
- It can be monitored and managed through dashboards and analytics to ensure performance and compliance.
- It can range from simple task automation, like email responses, to complex systems integration across multiple platforms.
