mechanization
(redirected from Machine technology)

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

mechanization

Use of machines, either wholly or in part, to replace human or animal labour. Unlike automation, which may not depend at all on a human operator, mechanization requires human participation to provide information or instruction. Mechanization began with human-operated machines to replace the handwork of craftspeople; today computers are frequently used to control mechanized processes.
