…an example. Requiring greater upfront investment in robots from Comau, the flexibility of the plant can repurpose and redirect equipment to suit amended product specifications and volumes. Tesla founder Elon Musk has made no secret of his ambitions for general-purpose robots that would be even more capable. Flexible manufacturing to pick up speed The time required to change robot programming has delayed the acceptance of flexible manufacturing. Once, automating a one-hour task could require more than 15 hours of programming. A more recent move to self-programming has simplified the process through abstraction using AI and machine learning. There is also…
