AI “smart” or “intelligent” automation seems unstoppable because it promises to save money, minimize human error, and produce faster results. The impact on workers and the workplace will be dramatic.
Business Intelligence: making Smart Business Decisions
Goldman Sachs reports that “two-thirds of occupations could be partially automated by AI.” McKinsey echoes this sentiment in an article: “Current generative AI and other technologies have the potential to automate work activities that absorb 60 to 70 percent of employees’ time today.”
What we are seeing with smart automation is the digital equivalent of Henry Ford’s assembly line when he added a conveyor belt to bring the “developing car” to the workers, allowing Ford to build a car in 90 minutes instead of 12 hours.
Given the likelihood of cost savings and increased operational efficiency, many companies are turning to smart automation. This technology could upend the job market and revolutionize the workplace by enhancing productivity.
Where Will The Savings And Revenue Come From?

Smart automation technology will impact various aspects of business operations, especially repetitive and time-intensive tasks like entering data, which are susceptible to human error. It can also generate data-driven insights and find patterns from large datasets that human workers might take days, weeks, or even longer to accomplish, if at all.
State-of-the-art technologies are already automating repetitive tasks like payroll processing, data entry, inventory management, patient registration, invoicing, claims processing, and more. AI and Robotic Process Automation (RPA) have taken on everyday manual tasks that employees previously did, leaving companies with the choice of eliminating jobs or giving workers more time to focus on more productive tasks.
While automation excels at repetitive tasks, it can transform business operations. For instance, rather than having workers manually count inventory, AI can automatically track inventory in real time as consumers buy products. Businesses would be able to anticipate demand for popular products and eliminate disruptions due to shortages. AI also reduces downtime because it can predict maintenance problems, allowing managers to take proactive action to minimize work interruptions. This helps produce faster turnaround times, improve resource allocations, and reduce costs.
AI and machine learning (ML) algorithms also provide companies with data-driven insights. By analyzing vast amounts of data, these technologies can find patterns and trends, which leads to more informed decision-making. Previously, companies often had information overload that they struggled to analyze efficiently.

Real-World Smart Automation Examples
Many companies have already embraced smart automation because of its potential benefits. Here are two companies that are using smart automation to save time and money:
•JPMorgan Chase (JPCM) leverages AI in its COiN (COtract INtelligence) platform, which automates tasks like “interpreting loan applications.” The automated system can “process 12,000 contacts annually and save approximately 360,000 hours of review for the firm’s legal teams.”
•Walmart has implemented an AI-ML-driven inventory management system that uses “historical data” and “predictive analytics” to “save time from the moment of purchase to their front door.”

Mitigating Risks And Maximizing Rewards
To successfully implement smart automation and avoid problems with employees, companies need to plan and have a clear vision of their goals. They will need a cross-functional team that includes executives, managers, workers, and your IT team or consultant to minimize risks and to assuage the workforce on their future.
Automation.com lists significant challenges that companies will have to overcome, including:
•Lack of IT readiness: Many companies may not have the IT skills in house to manage smart automation integration. They will either need to upskill their IT staff, perhaps expand it or bring aboard a software solutions provider that understands their industry and the technology required.
•Lack of a clear vision: This problem stems from a lack of a total strategy. To develop a clear vision, Automation.com recommends the active involvement of C-Suite executives and the creation of a centralized “Center of Excellence” that will set “standards and [provide] guidance to business units engaged in specific initiatives.”
Because of the benefits of these real-world examples, many workers fear technology will take their jobs. Undoubtedly, horse-and-buggy drivers suffered tremendous job losses with the advent of cars. But with technology also came new jobs. Instead of a horse and buggy, society needed taxicab drivers.
So, how will AI, a generational technology, change the workplace?
McKinsey research indicates that jobs requiring “physical and manual skills” will continue their downward trend but they will still “continue to be the single largest category of skills (measured by time spent), shrinking from 31 percent of workers’ time in 2016 to 25 percent in 2030 across the United States and Western Europe.”
As a result, businesses will seek workers with “higher cognitive skills,” like “creativity, critical thinking, decision making, and complex information processing.”
To minimize the potential disruption to the workforce, companies, employees and governments can take proactive measures to reduce job loss. Companies can offer retraining programs to workers, and employees can seek training needed for new careers, which already existing federal programs may subsidize. Government can do its part by providing financial incentives to companies that use AI to help workers. One idea floating around Congress is a “displacement tax, levied on employers when a worker’s job is automated but the person is not retrained, which could make businesses more inclined to retrain workers.”
While Congress holds hearings and proposes legislation, smart automation is already a reality in today’s business world. The question is not whether many companies will switch to smart automation but when. This technology is inevitable. It will be up to companies that want to stay competitive and their workforce to adapt to the latest industrial revolution or be left behind.

Can Smart Tech Make Human Labor More Valuable?
Despite popular dystopic depictions of technology minimizing or even eliminating human value, the truth is that technological innovation greatly influences the way we work. We’ve seen this throughout history, from the printing press and the cotton gin to cloud computing and virtual and augmented reality.
The reality of technological advances reflects an ebb and flow of interdependent elements in our society at large. Smart technology, like that seen in modern manufacturing facilities, doesn’t detract from human value—it augments it.
In the short term, smart technology helps manufacturing professionals work more efficiently and leverage data-backed intelligence. In the long term, workers with an innate understanding of these smart technologies will be in high demand. That’s why upskilling and reskilling will be the bridge that connects today’s reality with tomorrow’s potential.
Smart technology improves teams’ efficiency, reduces errors associated with manual practices and injects real-time contextual insights into every phase of production. For example, manufacturing execution systems (MES) offer real-time data capture and analysis, displayed within a digital, user-friendly interface. No longer reliant on mere guesswork, shop floor workers are empowered by MES with knowledge of exactly how each machine and process is operating, and whether anything needs their attention.
Smart technology necessitates advanced skill sets
As smart technology use becomes more ubiquitous in industry, a premium will be placed on any professional who knows how to operate, maintain or repair it. And as we expand our use of these technologies, it will become a partner to us, rather than a tool. This development is still, in all likelihood, quite a few years out, but it’s important for manufacturers to realize their increasing dependence on skilled professionals with expertise in IoT, robotics and software engineering. By thinking strategically now, manufacturers can set themselves up for long-term, technological success.
To get there, they’ll need to dedicate substantial resources and attention to upskilling.
The upskilling road to success
It is true that some smart technology will absorb the workloads of some human workers—particularly those with largely administrative or repetitive job functions. But those workers are still valuable. They possess a great deal of institutional knowledge, often being the ones with the deepest understanding of the facility, the company, its processes and its customers. There is no reason why their expertise can’t be translated to new roles—especially if that role involves working with the technology that assumed their former responsibilities.
Manufacturing leaders must prioritize employee training and engagement to achieve a smooth digital transformation and assure workers they are valuable to the organization.
Upskilling likely won’t be a perfect process—there are sure to be some bumps in the road—but the more leaders can be candid and create a culture of learning, the better their teams will fare as they achieve mastery of new subjects.
What can manufacturers gain from upskilling? Highly skilled, trusted employees with clear loyalty to the facility, the integrity of its products and its ongoing success.

LG integrates artificial intelligence into smart factory services
Boasting a 66-year history of manufacturing and production, LG is now taking its assets up a gear, advancing its smart factory services business by integrating its manufacturing and production expertise with artificial intelligence (AI) and digital transformation (DX) capabilities.
The electronics giant officially entered the smart factory services market earlier in 2024, and now plans to aggressively expand into industries with rapidly growing factory demand, such as semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and food and drink. Its Production engineering Research Institute (PRI), which has been enhancing production and manufacturing competitiveness for LG Group affiliates, will now extend its expertise to external clients.
Even though this is the inaugural year in the sector, the smart factory business is said to have already achieved significant milestones. PRI anticipates securing orders worth approximately KRW 200bn (US$144.7bn) from external clients for its smart factory services. LG’s major clients in the area include secondary battery manufacturers, automotive parts manufacturers and logistics companies. Services offered include production consulting, development of equipment and operation systems, and training for technology personnel.
As part of its strategy in the sector, LG said it plans to expand aggressively into industries with rapidly growing factory demand. The goal is to develop the smart factory services business into a multi-trillion KRW enterprise by 2030, excluding revenue generated in the LG Group, and tap into a global smart factory market that, according to market research firm Precedence Research, is projected to grow from $155.61bn at the end of 2024 to $268.46bn by 2030.
LG said its new smart factory proposition is the “ultimate fusion of AI and manufacturing capabilities”, taking advantage of 770 terabytes (TB) of manufacturing and production data that the company has amassed in the past decade. The company also sees a competitive edge through its core production technologies that it regards as essential for smart factory configuration, with PRI filing over 1,000 patents related to smart factory services.
The company aims to set its smart factory services apart by integrating its extensive manufacturing data and expertise with AI and DX, leveraging world-class production technologies. These smart factory services encompass production system design, monitoring and operation through digital twin technology; big data and generative AI-based management of quality; industrial safety and equipment; and the provision of various industrial robots.
The strategic approach that the company will take in the smart factory sector will not solely involve providing unit services for specific areas, but rather “comprehensive solutions” covering the entire journey for clients, from factory planning to design, construction and operation. After considering the client’s environment and industry characteristics, LG said it will diagnose existing factories and identify areas for improvement, establishing a step-by-step roadmap from automation, “informationisation” and intelligence perspectives to maximise investment effectiveness.
Production system design and operation services leverage real-time simulations using digital twin technology. Before the factory is built, a virtual replica identical to the real one is created, allowing clients to preview the production and logistics flow. This, said LG, will enable optimal efficiency in factory design.
Aiming to show how its own operations have benefitted from smart factory services, in the LG Group, production facilities at over 60 locations in 40 regions worldwide are applying offerings from PRI. LG revealed that following the implementation of smart factory services, productivity at its Changwon plant increased by 17%, energy efficiency improved by 30% and quality costs due to defects were reduced by 70%.
Commenting on the strategy, Jeong Dae-hwa, head of LG PRI, said: “We will offer optimal smart factory solutions at every stage – from planning and design to construction and operation – becoming the ideal partner that supports our clients throughout their entire production journey.”
