mechanizable
Able to automate
Mechanizable describes processes or tasks that can be performed by machines rather than humans.
Work is mechanizable when it follows predictable patterns and requires little judgment: Assembly line work is highly mechanizable.
The term often appears in discussions of automation and labor: Which jobs are mechanizable, and which require human creativity?
