Marco Chacin is a Manufacturing Automation Systems Expert at Airbus. He spoke to us at Smart Manufacturing Week about how manufacturers can truly advance the impact and capabilities of automation and robotics.
During a panel discussion that he was part of, entitled Advancing Automation and Robotics: Shaping the Future of Manufacturing, he delved into the game-changing impact of automation, the rise of intelligent robotics, and the growing influence of collaborative robots (cobots) on workforce dynamics.
In his interview with us, he touches on the opportunities, challenges, and potential risks of this technological revolution, and reflects on how humans and machines can truly collaborate, believing that we can never reach a fully automated future.
We ask Marco:
- How are collaborative robots (cobots) reshaping workforce dynamics, and what are the implications for human-machine collaboration in the future?
- What are the emerging trends in AI and machine learning that could further enhance the capabilities of robotics and automation on the factory floor?
- As automation continues to advance, how can manufacturers ensure a skilled workforce to manage and maintain these systems?
