One challenge mentioned by a Vision 2025 participant was “difficulty keeping different control systems talking to each other— especially with safety data— and with affording equipment controls updates.”

Others cite the challenge to film performance and cost with smaller automated lots and runs, or the struggle to implement automation best practices throughout the organization.
