Naturally, print workflow automation’s actual benefits depend on the circumstances – what process is being automated, which automation platform is being used, and so forth.
What are the downsides to automation?
While there are not necessarily any universal downsides to automation, there are considerations to be aware of.
For instance:
- Automating tasks that shouldn’t be automated, can have a detrimental impact on that process
- Overusing automation, such as over-automating customer service interactions, can result in oversights, errors, or a bad customer experience.
- Automation cannot think or make human judgments, so if it is applied inappropriately, it can have the opposite of the intended impact.
Fortunately, issues such as these can be avoided with proper foresight and planning.
What shouldn't be automated in workflow & production automation?
As mentioned above, certain types of tasks shouldn’t be automated, such as those that require:
- Human-to-human interaction
- Empathy
- Human judgment
- Strategic decision-making
Automation, likewise, isn’t suitable for certain types of activities, such as those that involve creativity or collaboration.
