  • Automation systems are mostly used to performs operations that are difficult or dangerous for human workers.For example, many companies utilize robots to perform work involving harsh chemicals or dangerous machinery that could injure or otherwise have adverse effects on human health or wellbeing. 

  • In the 1900s, the average workweek was about 70 hours. Today, it has been reduced to approximately 40 hours. Two of the main reasons for this reduction are mechanization and automation, both of which have helped shorten the time it takes to process a production order. The result is employees can enjoy a better work-life balance even as factory productivity increases. 

  • Automated systems can be easily scaled up or down to accommodate changes in demand. They offer the flexibility to adjust production levels, allocate resources, and respond to market fluctuations quickly. This adaptability can help businesses stay competitive and meet customer demands effectively.

  •  If employees become too dependent on automated systems, they may lose their proficiency in certain tasks, making it difficult to operate without automation.
  •  It involves expenses such as purchasing equipment, software, training employees, and restructuring processes. Due to these costs, small businesses or industries with limited resources may find it challenging to adopt automation.
  • Customers may prefer personalized services or assistance from human representatives, and automated systems may not always be able to provide the same level of empathy, intuition, and problem-solving abilities.
