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.
