Asset management through automation leverages technology to streamline processes, enhance efficiency, and improve decision-making across the asset lifecycle. This includes automating tasks like asset discovery, tracking, maintenance scheduling, and reporting, ultimately leading to better utilization, reduced costs, and improved compliance. 

Key Benefits:
Increased Efficiency
Improved Accuracy
Reduced Costs
Enhanced Decision-Making
Better Compliance
Improved Security
Proactive Maintenance
Better Risk Management

Automation is one step further of SCADA Telemetry as it adds another dimension to process control that is AI Based Decision making. As In the case of Smart Grid, the Numerical Relays are embedded with Logic Controls to handle Transient Faults and hence automatically performs fast switching thereby bringing stability to Grid.

There are two ways Automation gets applied across industries -- one is for elimination of human labor for repetitive tasks and the other is Intelligent Decision Making without human intervention.

Artificial Intelligence and Robotics go hand in hand and helps in predictive maintenance and advanced analytics. Since its autonomous, it brings a new dimension to Data Acquisition.
