Ways to develop full automation of production

Abstract

A new approach to the problem of full automation of production is considered. It is shown that along with technical issues, one of the main places among the issues of full automation of production is occupied by social issues, since full automation radically changes the structure of labor resources. The novel division of labor in the process of life activity led to the formation of new organizational solutions that also affected the automation environment. This is primarily due to the fact that along with individuals inventing and implementing automatic devices, a certain number of workers, who were freed from routine work by automats and had to be organized in a new way in the work of the team, appeared. The subsequent era of the industrial revolution is associated not only with the development of new types of energy, but also with the formation of new organizational solutions in production. It is reasonable to imagine the development of fully automated production as a process of transition to a state in which individuals who consume products simultaneously change its structure. The driving forces behind the development of fully automated production are individuals who have been freed from routine work as a result of automation and have been given the opportunity to realize their creative abilities. Taking into account the effect of the «universal law of the elevation of needs», it is necessary to consider the appropriate and most effective form of the structure of fully automated production as a permanently changing matrix containing a changing set of individual customers and a changing set of automation tools. Familiarity with the new approach to the problem of full automation will help enterprise designers to better understand the composition of tasks for the reconstruction of production.
