Don’t just take it from us; what does the world’s latest “expert on everything” think about the future of automation when applied to manufacturing.
If you work in a field leveraging technology, you’ve undoubtedly been hearing the BUZZ around ChatGPT. As an automation integrator, our team has already been leveraging the power of this A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) tool as an additional data point in the development of our custom solutions. We’ve always found solutions integrating the realities humans actual encounter, combined with progressive innovation, yields superior results. We don’t foresee ChatGPT as a threat to the design capabilities of Mechanical and Electrical Engineers, but rather a product which can aid in vetting concepts, accelerating speed to market, and an additional unbiased solution generator helping to efficiently produce the best concepts for customers. When used in this capacity, customers are sure to implement solutions with an optimized level of rational and logical thinking.
Having said this, we were curious to get ChatGPT’s response as to the impact of automation on the world of manufacturing. Check out what happened when we asked what the future of automation looks like.
QUESTION:
What is the future of automation in manufacturing?
RESPONSE:
The future of automation in manufacturing is likely to be characterized by continued growth and advancement in robotics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning technologies.
One major trend is the integration of collaborative robots, or cobots, into manufacturing processes. These robots are designed to work alongside human workers, assisting them with tasks such as picking and packing, assembly, and quality control. They can be programmed to learn from human workers and adjust their behavior accordingly, making them more adaptable and versatile than traditional industrial robots.
Another trend is the increasing use of artificial intelligence and machine learning in manufacturing. These technologies can be used to optimize production processes, predict and prevent equipment failures, and improve product quality. They can also be used to analyze data from sensors and other sources to identify trends and patterns that can help manufacturers make more informed decisions about production and supply chain management.
Overall, the future of automation in manufacturing is likely to be characterized by greater efficiency, productivity, and flexibility, as well as improved safety and quality control. However, it is also likely to lead to significant changes in the nature of work and the types of skills that are required for employment in the industry.
While we agree with everything ChatGPT had to say, we’d like to add:
THE FUTURE IS NOW!
We’ve already been working with customers to implement the tasks mentioned by this tool. Specifically…
ROBOTS/COBOTS
With the rising costs of manpower, and the diminishing costs of technology, many of our customers have been pleasantly surprised with the efficient alternatives we’ve proposed. These machines are capable of working 24/7, never call in sick, and don’t need to be continuously re-trained to meet goals; not to mention other HR-related concerns such as: recruiting, training, hiring, health care costs, and leave.
MACHINE LEARNING
If you’re concerned machines are unable to adapt to the many variables found in the manufacturing environment, think again. Our programmers are able to “teach” our custom machines how to react to, and in many instances how to anticipate, unexpected inconsistencies. Typically, these adaptations occur more rapidly than a human would be able to make. This eliminates down-time, ensuring production runs meet ROI goals.
If you’ve been considering altering your manufacturing process to become more efficient, why wouldn’t you have a no-risk/no-cost conversation with a resource familiar with designing, installing, and implementing custom machines to achieve better results? Our team is here to optimize your process and system control, while helping to future-proof your business. Let’s connect to determine if it makes sense to schedule a free on-site evaluation.
