mechanizations
Processes becoming automated
Mechanizations are instances of converting processes to machine operation, or the results of such conversion.
The word usually appears in discussions of industrial or agricultural change: The mechanizations of the early twentieth century displaced millions of farm workers.
It can also describe making something automatic or routine, draining it of human judgment or feeling.
