Why technology can change this work

  • AI improves fault diagnostics and job planning but does not perform all physical repairs
  • serial operations fit industrial robots
  • the scale and cost of routine operations create a strong automation incentive
  • sensors and computer vision automate quality control
  • planning and maintenance are moving to predictive systems

What protects the occupation

  • work in confined, old and unpredictable sites
  • fine motor skills and safe physical intervention
  • a large share of value comes from human judgement, trust or personal accountability
  • equipment setup and non-standard fault resolution
  • production safety accountability
  • variable materials and low-volume processes
