15. 15 Property 6 AUTOMATION Teaching techniques: Stimulate participants to write about it (wikipedia) Learn by /osmosis Osmosis is really a scientific term relating to the flow of fluids through a semi-permeable membrane. With respect to learning, it means a gradual, often unconscious process of assimilation. The term has been applied to "sleep learning,“ "unconscious learning." • Automation in collecting customer information • Keep track of • Customers • Orders • Demands • Wishes • This can be done through • tender forms • invoice details 1. introduction | 2. value | 3. resources | 4. nine windows | 5. analogy | 6. patents | 7. properties | 8.conflicts | 9. product dna | 10. appendix

16. 16 AUTOMATION Precision farming In "precision farming," GPS now guides tractors to plow and seed fields, instrumentalizing the earth remotely and resulting in a monoculture of cornfields over thousands of acres throughout Iowa and into several other midwestern states. The AUTO-GUIDE Satellite Navigation System is a steer-assist feature that automatically guides the agriculture vehicle along a path established by GPS (Global Positioning System). The system steers the vehicle electronically, so operator steering corrections are not required while the system is engaged. Auto-Guide uses sub-metre, decimetre and centimetre (USA only) accuracy to provide straight lines, while the operator is simply required to turn the machine at headlands.Operators are consequently less fatigued and work more efficiently into the night, or in low visibility situations, with reduced skips and overlaps - resulting in increased efficiency and economic savings.In addition, repeatability or Controlled Traffic eliminates guess rows and reduces widespread compaction, leading to environmental savings.  See video human Source: auto-guidenav.com Human + semiautomated tool Fullyautomated tool 1. introduction | 2. value | 3. resources | 4. nine windows | 5. analogy | 6. patents | 7. properties | 8.conflicts | 9. product dna | 10. appendix
