A factory representative explains why human operators remain essential despite full automation. Humans control machines, manage materials, maintain flow, and perform tactile and visual quality checks that machines cannot replicate.
In going through your factory, I noticed that you've managed to automate every single step in the process. Why did you make that decision and how have you seen that decision pay off?
We need the people to control the machine that is working properly. We decide to have people in the strategical point to check the beginning where we have the raw material. We are working continuously. We don't stop the machine. We always need a bit of material ready to be sent to the line. And this is what is going on. It's all computer controlled. From the touch from the ethical visual of the product, this has to be done from a person, not from a machine.
So quality control can only really come from a human at that level. Yes.
