“ Robots will become more prominent and there are already a number of industrial robots in place , but we will see more dynamic robots that will perform multiple tasks such as carry and transport products around the mill . We ’ re already currently using autonomous drones to do area surveillance in some of our mills so this will definitely increase in the future . Over the next few years , we want all of our reactive work to be proactive . For example all maintenance will be planned based on prediction . We ’ re also building prescriptive capabilities which will mean that away from predicting what will happen we can tell experts what to do in order to optimise their work . Over the next few years , we want all of our reactive work to be proactive .”
