# Automation support device and automation support method

## Abstract

An automation support device supporting automation of a process included in work includes a processor. The processor acquires work procedure information regarding a process for a person to work and requirement specification information regarding a specification required for an automation system including a robot device that executes the process; determines a first configuration of the automation system based on the work procedure information; evaluates performance, productivity, and a cost of the automation system of the first configuration based on the work procedure information and the requirement specification information; and outputs first change support information for supporting a change in the first configuration of the automation system based on a result of the evaluation.
