automation

always
helpful in

however, it is
a known fact
that human
vigilance is
more capable

of
detectingand
interpreting
errors more
accurately.
When on

engine room

results
inmore
accurate job

Engine room
operation
also requires
information
from

other domain

engineering
such as
mechanical,
hydraulic,
