In recent times, the manufacturing sector has witnessed a paradigm shift with the induction of robots, collaborative robots (cobots), and Artificial Intelligence (AI) into its processes. Initially feared as harbingers of job displacement, these technological marvels have instead emerged as valuable collaborators to human workers, driving efficiencies, and filling the void created by skilled labor shortages. This transformation is not just a response to evolving technological landscapes but a proactive step towards future-proofing manufacturing operations amid rising labor costs and a dearth of skilled workers.
