Thinking of moving from software into industrial automation — looking for insights
I’m basically a software engineer, but I’ve always been drawn toward manufacturing and industrial systems more than traditional SaaS. Lately I’ve been exploring whether AI-led monitoring systems or automation tools can solve operational problems that are still heavily manual, reactive, or simply ignored because “that’s how factories work.”
Not trying to force AI into places where it doesn’t belong — more interested in understanding real bottlenecks on factory floors, maintenance workflows, quality inspection, energy usage, downtime prediction, compliance tracking, worker safety, etc.
Would genuinely appreciate insights from people working in manufacturing, operations, robotics, industrial IoT, or automation:
What problems are still painful today?
Which workflows are surprisingly outdated?
Where do existing solutions fail?
What kind of monitoring/automation do people wish existed but nobody is building properly?
Still in brainstorming mode and trying to understand the space deeply before building anything serious. Any direction, ideas, or even industry realities would help a lot.
