Robotics and AI improve factories of the future - Control Engineering

Deployment of robots, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning-based systems could bring many performance benefits for organizations. These benefits include, but are not limited to, improved product/service quality, greater throughput, enhanced employee safety, reduced variability, waste reduction, and, most importantly, higher customer satisfaction. It is incorrect to regard robotics and factories of the future as new concepts because they have existed for decades; it is the perspective around them has evolved over time. When Henry Ford replaced horse carriages with automotive engines, robotics became the driving force of our lives. His assembly line became the blueprint for later designs of manufacturing plants and factories.
