Automating a business to increase productivity involves integrating machinery and software to enhance workflow. The benefits of automation include, but are not limited to:
Labour Productivity 
- Employees previously operating the process will now be able to shift their responsibilities to take on more pertinent tasks that cannot be automated, such as customer relationship management.
Repeatability
- Machinery can offer a consistent output quality that the human hand fails to deliver. Automation can offer accuracy in terms of mass production.
Increase in Material Yield
- Repeatability results in less scrap material and waste which can be attributed to nesting in many cases. Automation typically involves related software that increases material yield, in turn decreasing production costs.
100% Duty Cycle
- Automation allows for jobs to be started and completed at any point in the day beyond typical work schedules. The result can be a drastic increase in throughput since machinery has full-time availability.
Improve Quality Control
- Since machines offer consistent quality, operation-to-operation inspection is not required as frequently. By automating the process, standards will be met.
Thousands of businesses have implemented automated technologies and have improved their business workflow drastically. Automating your business processes may involve a large initial investment in machinery and software, but you will reap positive results in the long run, if not sooner.
