Tech/Engineering - IT (Information Technology)
French term or phrase: automate
These are problems a software company supposedly fixed at one of their clients (a hospital):

- Mise en place d’un automate sur deux postes : Poste de Ms. KKK + portable de formation. Ce dernier a réalisé 500 dictées sans problème. Des tests de saisie de courrier manuellement (10 sur chacune de ces deux machines) ont été réalisés sans dysfonctionnement.

Any idea what they mean by automate here? Unless you have a good idea what they mean IN THIS CONTEXT, please don't answer.

It is probably best to add "output" and one can call the equipment "devices".
