09/07/2023 | by Patrick Fischer, M.Sc., Founder & Data Scientist: FDS

Data automation refers to the process of automating tasks related to the management, processing and analysis of data. This automation can cover various aspects of data management and can be used in different industries and use cases. Here are some of the key aspects of data automation:

Data capture: Data automation can be used to automatically capture data from various sources. This can include, for example, automatically collecting data from sensors, IoT devices, social media, websites, emails, or databases.

Data automation: Data automation can be used to automatically collect data from a variety of sources.

Data cleansing: Automation can be used to prepare and cleanse data by, for example, replacing missing values, removing duplicates, or correcting inconsistent data.

Data integration: data automation makes it possible to merge and integrate data from different sources. This is especially important in organizations where data is stored in multiple departments and systems.

Data processing: automation can be used to process and transform data to prepare it for analysis or reporting. This can include applying calculations, filters, aggregations, and other operations to the data.

Data analytics: Automation can help perform data analytics by automatically applying algorithms and models to the data to identify patterns, trends, or insights.

Reporting and visualization: data automation can be used to automatically generate reports and dashboards that present key findings and insights from the data.

Decision support: in some cases, data automation can be used to make automated decisions or recommendations based on data. This is referred to as "automated decision making" and can be found in various applications such as e-commerce, financial services, and healthcare.

Data automation has the potential to make processes more efficient, reduce human error, and increase the speed of data processing and analysis. It is being used in many industries and application areas to gain better insights from data and make informed decisions. However, it is important to ensure that automation is used ethically and legally responsibly, especially when it impacts people and society.
