The upfront investment required for purchasing hardware, software, sensors, controllers, and other solutions of automation systems can be substantial. Many businesses, especially Small- & Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), may face constraints in allocating the necessary capital for these initial expenditures, leading to hesitancy in adopting automation solutions. Integrating new automation systems with the existing infrastructure can be complex and costly. Businesses often need to retrofit or upgrade their current systems to ensure compatibility and seamless integration. The expenses associated with integrating automation technologies into the existing workflow contribute to the overall high implementation costs.
