Can Automation Save Your Factory?

I fully support the growth of automation..... As a father of two, I wonder if there will be any jobs for our children. Trying to convince share holders to be satisfied with less profit, so somebody has a job, will be the problem. I give table scraps to the pets.... We need to leave something for humans to do. (I'm not anti-tech, just pro man)

automation needs man to design and management.!!!

as well as repair,

I'm Lucky My city provides a recycling station for just about everything. Do NOT even have to separate plastics. They even take cardboard, paper & some other items. Nothing considered hazardous like paint. The only draw backs are. !. Have to haul it there yourself. Not that big of a deal since its only a couple of miles away. 2. They are only open from 9-12 on Saturdays and 10 - 2 on Tuesdays. I haul my stuff there every 2 weeks.

this title is vague.

eiher automation can save your enterprise, or not, depend on your products and market.

if your products is not suit to market needing, any --lize cannt sve you.

if it suit to market needing but manpower cannt finish its yields, automation can do.

you shold view it from these two differnet spots.

Automation does not equate to a complete replacement of unskilled labor, but rather a labor amplifier allowing fewer men to do more work, safer and more efficiently. Much like harvesters allowed the farmers of the 1800s to transition from slavery while becoming more productive. It always seems there is a competition between those who are technically skilled and want to see societal advancement against the unskilled masses who want to see things in their own area remain unchanged, including their management, e.g. slave owners were not too happy about the idea of transitioning even though the mechanical systems already existed. technological advancement allows a advanced society to pay some of the benefits the masses want, and still compete with the less advanced slave labor styled societies, which you still see in places like China and Indonesia.
