Why You Should Avoid Automation at Workplaces

Do you know the effects of automation at workplaces? Automation refers to the use of

machines that barely require human force to operate. Companies should avoid full automation

and consider human workers for most tasks in the production units. A common example of

automation in the current organizations is robots in the production, supply, and logistics units.

Organizations should avoid robots as they pose more negative effects to the economic world than

advantages.

Robots contribute to the loss of employment opportunities which risks severe social

issues. Statistics indicate that at least 260,000 jobs in the United States have been lost since 2000

due to automation. According to Flynn (2022), the figure represents approximately 2 percent of

the manufacturing workforce in the United States. Interestingly, as technology grows, robots are

expected to take up more roles, but organizations need to be moderate with incorporating

automation. The uncontrolled incorporation of automation at workplaces even risks specialized

professions such as health care providers.

Automation of operations at workplaces increases the risk of data breaches and issues

related to cybersecurity. Software applications without close human supervision are easily

accessible wirelessly, which risks data breaches. Computers and other smart devices used in

organizations to perform bulk operations can lead to serious security issues. Organizations need

to consider safety measures when embracing automated applications.

A complete shift of operations from conventional to robotic involves considerably

expensive details. Did you know that automated procedures require constant maintenance?

Research shows that maintenance of some robotic machines can be costlier than the initial cost
