What are the Challenges in Implementing Automation?
Despite its benefits, implementing automation in nanotechnology presents several challenges. One of the primary challenges is the integration of different tools and systems, which often require custom interfaces and protocols. Another challenge is the need for specialized knowledge to develop and maintain automated systems, which may not be readily available in all research settings. Additionally, the initial cost of setting up automation infrastructure can be high, posing a barrier for smaller research groups. Ensuring the reliability and accuracy of automated systems also requires rigorous testing and validation.
