It is becoming increasingly difficult for industry to find people who are willing to do dangerous or monotonous jobs. Those who are performing boring or repetitive tasks are liable to become frustrated and error-prone. Problems of this type together with the increasing cost of manpower provide strong incentives for industry to automate their production lines.
