The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the landscape of automation. While traditional Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) excelled at repetitive tasks, AI brings new capabilities that extend far beyond simple automation. This revolution is not just on the horizon; it is already transforming manufacturing processes.
Traditional automation devices primarily focus on repetitive tasks, alleviating manual labor. However, AI automation tackles complex, non-repetitive tasks, such as polishing, cutting, and deburring. Learning robots can adapt and relearn processes, eliminating the need for extensive programming. The integration of AI enables manufacturers to navigate the complexities of modern production environments while remaining competitive.
