FINAL WORD
Arrival of the era of semi automation
Semi-automation will rely on technologies such as the Industrial Internet of Things , Artificial Intelligence , digital twins and customised large language models , alongside industrial robotics . Human workers are now partnering with smart machines to do their jobs better , respond to opportunities faster , achieve more with less . This is the foundation of semi-automation says Simon Bennett at AVEVA .
From the steam engine to Artificial Intelligence , every industrial revolution centres on collaboration between tools and their creators . The next stage of industrial evolution will see humans work alongside smart machines to support sustainable prosperity , this has been called Industry 5.0 . Think of it as the era of semi-automation .
In the face of continued supply chain challenges , energy limits and shifting consumer demands , this blend of human ingenuity and trusted machine-generated insights will bring about safer workplaces , lower production costs and more sustainable operating models .

Incubation , AVEVA
Semi-automation will rely heavily on currently available technologies such as the Industrial Internet of Things , Artificial Intelligence , digital twins and customised large language models , alongside industrial robotics .
With these technologies , massive quantities of raw information can be analysed , contextualised and visualised to create an end-to-end view of the business value chain , providing actionable insights . Together with human judgement , these insights become industrial intelligence .
In effect , human workers are now partnering with smart machines to do their jobs better , respond to opportunities faster , and achieve more with less . This the foundation of semi-automation . How do advanced technologies amplify human ingenuity ?
