mechanising
Introducing automated systems
Mechanising is the British spelling of mechanizing—converting a process or system to operate by machine rather than by hand or animal power.
Agriculture mechanised over the twentieth century, replacing manual labor with tractors and harvesters.
The term extends to military contexts: mechanised infantry uses armored vehicles for transport.
Figuratively, to mechanise something is to make it automatic or routine, sometimes with a sense of removing human judgment.
