    I work in automation. Nearly ALL of our customers want full automated systems. Only problem is that it’s a lot of $$$. A lot of time we end up doing semi-automated solutions that keeps maybe half of the workforce.

      I’m not familiar with automation systems in the manufacturing space, but I do run small fintech firm where we work on automated trading. Full automation is a pipedream (for now, at least). We find that supervised systems where the machine does much of the heavy lifting, with a human hand on the wheel, are the ones that work best. This can still save companies a ton on labor costs.

      Sounds like the other half of your customer’s workforce should apply to the growing automation industry. Equilibrium maintained!
