The term mechanized work describes the degree of mechanization of a technical operation. Other degrees are manual work and motor-manual work. Mechanized work can further be divided into simple, advanced and automatic work.
Automatic work can be subdivided into different degrees of automation.:
In forestry, the cut-to-length harvester is an example for a machine with partly automatic work (at level i3). Some prototypes try to operate driverless (i4).
