Everything about Mechanization totally explained
Mechanization or mechanisation (BE) is providing human operators with machinery to assist them with the physical requirements of work. It can also refer to the use of
machines to replace manual labor or animals. A step beyond mechanization is
automation. The use of hand powered tools isn't an example of mechanization.
The term is most often used in industry. The addition of powered machine tools, such as the
steam powered lathe dramatically reduced the amount of time needed to carry out various tasks, and improves productivity. Today very little construction of any sort is carried out with hand tools.
Military usage
The term is also used in the military to refer to the use of
tracked armoured vehicles, particularly
armoured personnel carriers, to move troops that would otherwise have marched or ridden trucks into combat. Mechanization dramatically improved the mobility and fighting capability of
infantry. In the armed forces of industrialized countries, all infantry is typically mechanized, with the possible exception of
airborne forces.
