I have one thing to add, and it's quite important as well. When a small or medium-sized business wants to automate its operations, it needs support. It needs guidance. Adopting that new way of doing things is not easy. Things that come to mind are coaching and engineering support, and all the services that help businesses adopt this new type of equipment. Take management software packages, for example. Very few are developed for the food processing sector. That expertise would be worth developing.
At this point, there are businesses that are fully automated, but they are few and far between. We need to follow their lead. Small and medium-sized businesses really need the coaching and consulting support to help them make the shift.
