Narrative:
While working on the radar west position; traffic grew to where I requested a split. While briefing the east controller; I observed that aircraft X had entered the ZID's airspace without a handoff. I believe this could have been prevented. In many facilities automated handoffs are used. I believe our equipment has the capability and we should be using it to prevent such errors.
