…twice before rushing to automate my facility in Reynosa, Mexico. I am cautious about the transition to Industry 4.0 for the following reasons. Reason 1: Justifying capital investment in a low-wage country Given that Mexico is a low-cost option for many U.S. and global manufacturers, it is important to consider how automation impacts our base costs. Often, the high capital investments required by robotics cannot be justified by the low cost of the labor it is replacing. For instance, a company could purchase a new piece of equipment costing $1 million to replace the work of four operators earning $7,000…
