Abstract

The theory of automation is that it can eliminate human error by eliminating the human from the loop. Experience has demonstrated, however, that although automation can significantly increase productivity, efficiency, reliability, throughput, and safety, there is a downside. Moreover, the downside can occur not only if the automation does not work as intended, but even if it does work as intended. This presentation will discuss the upsides and downsides of increasing automation.
