Automation

The automation icon represents the concept of automating tasks and processes, often used in industrial and manufacturing contexts. It symbolizes the use of technology to streamline and optimize production, reducing human intervention and increasing efficiency. In various domains, automation refers to the use of machines and computers to control and monitor systems, ensuring precision and speed. The icon is often associated with robotics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning.

In software and platforms, the automation icon appears in tools like Zapier, IFTTT, and Automate.io, which enable users to automate tasks and workflows across different applications. It is also used in industrial automation software, such as Siemens and Rockwell Automation, to represent automated processes and machinery.

From a UX perspective, the automation icon communicates the ability to streamline and simplify tasks, making it easier for users to manage complex systems. It helps users understand that a process or task can be automated, freeing up time and resources for more strategic activities. The icon also conveys a sense of efficiency, precision, and reliability.

Automation is one of 15,862 icons in Material Symbols, made by Google and released under Apache 2.0. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds AutomationIcon to components/icons/material-symbols-automation.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed AutomationIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Automation icon, or any of 15,862 Material Symbols icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 24 × 24 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Automation", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. AutomationIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <AutomationIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes. Apache 2.0 allows commercial use; keep the license notice when you ship the icons' source files. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: Apache 2.0 only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming Material Symbols, Google and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.

4 other libraries draw an icon called Automation. The Other libraries section on this page shows each one, so you can compare them and open the one that fits your style.

Its tags are technology, engineering, automation, industrial, manufacturing and robotics. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Automation in another set.

Material Symbols draws many icons in several styles: Outline, Rounded and Sharp next to the default. Open the library and pick a style above the grid to see Automation's siblings in it.
