Reading the article, I get the feeling that the author is not in the manufacturing (automation) business. Just fantasizing.

Seems AI re-written or reviewed at least.

This is just what "Industry 4.0" wants to be. This concept of manufacturing is over a decade old.

The problem is that this is relatively easy if you have 5 devices, but extremely hard if you have 10.000 devices and as many humans in the mix.

This person clearly does not work with industrial automation. This is just a fantasy post with no grounding in reality.

And unfortunately most of those humans barley understand what they are touching.

It’s AI which is another way of saying what you just did.

Opus 4.1 is not great at writing articles and LLMs are terrible at generating new ideas.

This would actually be more readable if they'd put the em dashes back in.
