Process automation refers to technology-enabled automation for the smooth and efficient functioning of complex processes across a wide range of process industries, such as chemicals, oil & gas, energy & power, and water & wastewater management. Process automation is used to automatically control a process and help plants and factories to operate efficiently and safely through various automation solutions. The measurement and control of process variables such as level, pressure, temperature, and flow in the processes across various process industries are referred to as instrumentation. Due to the adoption of process automation and instrumentation solutions, human intervention is eliminated, and time is saved during the entire production as well as in the controlling stage. "
