Here's how you can enhance work-life balance in the Process Automation industry through setting boundaries.

Proper and realistic planning. If a task is going to take 6 weeks of work to complete, add in another week for contingencies and communicate this to your client. Don't be pushed into committing to an early delivery - if you say 7 and it takes 6, your client will be happy. If you say 6 and it takes 7, they won't. Too many projects get off track through clients pushing for early delivery and project teams not pushing back firmly enough. Realistic planning and agreed priorities up front can resolve this issue. Be polite, but be resolute - you're protecting your team, your client and your product this way.
