In recent years, the possibility of robots replacing humans in factories in the future has been often mentioned. However, this may come much faster than predicted. Samsung Group (South Korea) intends to build fully automated production and assembly plants by the end of this decade.
According to DigiTimes Asia, Samsung has developed a smart sensor system that can create completely human-free factories. The system is designed to monitor and analyze production processes in real time, and is capable of automatically handling situations. The system not only automates production processes, but also increases efficiency.
Smart devices will be able to take care of all manufacturing processes, from simple to complex, including manufacturing, assembling, cleaning and testing products.
To achieve its goals, Samsung needs to create an AI -powered manufacturing ecosystem, developing systems that can manage large amounts of data and automatically optimize equipment performance. Smart sensors are a key part of this plan and will play a key role in making fully automated, smart factories a reality.
Samsung has already invested tens of millions of won in the project, expecting it to pay off in the long run.
A very important advantage of the system developed by Samsung is its small size, allowing application in small-scale factories or existing production facilities that can be simply renovated without increasing the occupied space.
While this achievement is significant for Samsung, the increased automation of manufacturing processes and the advent of smart factories could lead to massive layoffs globally.
Samsung's new automated factories are expected to require only a small number of technical experts to perform system monitoring and repair tasks.
Samsung's network of assembly and distribution plants currently spans 74 countries and employs more than 270,000 people, so the push to automate production processes is expected to put a large portion of its workforce at risk of layoffs.
