Interesting read on the effect of robotics on human operators and the effective interaction of the two.
Most facilities are not prepared for "lights-out" automation. This can be due to infrastructure constraints, required flexibility, or a myriad of other reasons.
The flexibility and creativity of humans cannot be replicated.
This means taking a siloed approach to automation and human operation can lead to unforeseen issues, both technically and culturally, in the interaction between the two.
Instead, robots and operators should be seen as augmentations to each other. An effective automation project should make your human operators safer and more efficient. Effective manual operations help you get the most out of your automated systems.
"The factory of the future will be staffed by robots and the humans who work alongside them to ensure the factory operates at peak efficiency. But, even the best robots on the shop floor are only capable of doing what they are programmed to do." 🤖
Anthony Moschella, SVP of product management at Vecna Robotics, discusses the capabilities of both robots and humans, and how manufacturing managers can expand on the best of both in SME.
