Why technology can change this work

  • serial operations fit industrial robots
  • sensors and computer vision automate quality control
  • the scale and cost of routine operations create a strong automation incentive
  • planning and maintenance are moving to predictive systems

What protects the occupation

  • equipment setup and non-standard fault resolution
  • production safety accountability
  • a large share of value comes from human judgement, trust or personal accountability
  • variable materials and low-volume processes
