Highly skilled operators will be critical in the automated factory of the future. People will continue managing production and performing complex maintenance on equipment to allow
peak operation. Employee responsibilities will consist mainly of supervision as opposed to completing manufacturing tasks. Academia must collaborate with manufacturers to prepare students for current and projected technology requirements within industry by emphasizing skills application to produce an adaptive workforce. Preparation requires learning situations that
utilize today’s technology to acquire knowledge and complete application projects resulting in workers prepared to access the factory of the future from remote sites without trepidation.
