An automated future
As processors continue to produce more innovative products,
automation and robotics equipment has also advanced.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has infiltrated the manufacturing
space and the equipment side as well.
" Automation is on the brink of transformative advancements,
driven by AI and machine learning, " Valadez explained.
" Future developments may include humanoid
robots and advanced AI systems. For example, humanoid
robots could handle tasks like packing variable-sized bags
without requiring expensive reconfiguration of existing
lines, making automation accessible for more processes. "
AI and machine learning will only enhance these systems,
Ravichandraan shared, linking them together to communicate,
allowing them to identify bottlenecks in the line
and solve problems by adjusting settings or quickly notifying
operators, and more.
" Systems will be more modular where a click of a button
will optimize all the machines and sub-systems in the production
line to adjust to a different product run or a group
of products on the fly, " he added. " Minimal human intervention
would be required, and cost of such systems would
also come down with increased usage of such solutions. "
Wilcox concluded, " Honestly, automation and robotics

are good for all as they help cut cost to the end consumers.
Technology is an ever-changing thing that we all must eventually
get used to; it cuts out human errors, streamlines processes and
cuts costs, which is every business owner's dream. Automation
is the way of the future, and we all need to embrace it. "
Automation and robotics can be used in a variety of
processes. For example, this robotic dog transports product
samples to be quality tested at Hill's Pet Nutrition.
