The industry is going through an accelerated transformation, with factories incorporating artificial intelligence, automating processes and reorganizing production lines. Companies are also seeking to reduce their dependence on supply chains that proved fragile due to geopolitical factors.
However, companies face a significant challenge: the shortage of professionals with the necessary skills to operate these new technologies. This problem cannot be easily solved, as skills cannot be purchased from a catalog nor installed in a week.
The labor market is not keeping pace with the rate of this technological change, creating a gap between what technology can offer and the human capacity to use it effectively. This gap represents a significant barrier to the full implementation of the "factory of the future."
