What do CMM Programmers Think Of All That Industry 4.0?

What do you guys think of this?

  • I'll start off by saying I don't know much about this 4.0 stuff but is it just me or does it feel like working towards fully automated cmms seems far away. Too many settings, too many variables, too many errors. Imagine how many crashes there will be. Its great in theory but sounds like a lot of investment and money just to replace someone you can actually hold accountable if issues do arise. I'm all for making things easier but programming is complex even though people just think we are glorified button pushers. Stuck out tongue closed eyes
  • I was thinking along same lines. Like driverless cars. Nice in theory but hard in practice. The fact is VW & Ford had abandoned their driverless JV & nothing coming out of the silicon valley says it all. And indeed the more complex something is the more stuff that can go wrong. Latest pc dmis versions (we have 2020R2 & initially had 2021 R1 but went to 2020R2 at the new cmm) are far buggier than 2016 one we have at the 20 year old TTP cmm I'm running now.
