Say goodbye to mundane, repetitive tasks in the workplace: Automation is taking off. Businesses are tapping into automation to reduce or eliminate the more “robotic” tasks (an interesting play on words!) and to get their workers’ creative juices flowing. Automation solutions, such as artificial intelligence (AI) –training machines to perform human tasks – and machine learning (ML) – training machines how to learn, are creating new efficiencies and helping businesses better focus on their valuable customers.
“Technology and automation are changing the business world as we know it – even the floral industry – and not in the future but today.”
According to research by Adobe Digital Insights (ADI), contrary to popular belief, most people are talking about how robots are helping them do their work rather than taking away jobs.
Check out these statistics for a better understanding of technology and automation as it pertains to operating businesses in the near future.
