Sanction on Russia was related to the violation of the Chemical and Biological Weapons Control and Warfare Elimination Act of 1991. For instance, Brexit is likely to lead to more trade restrictions between the UK and other countries in Europe. The US is also implementing several trade restrictions, especially with China, to boost its local production. For instance, the US imposed tariffs on $550 billion worth of Chinese goods including metals and metal products as of January 2020. Continued violence and terrorism in the Middle East and other parts globally are also expected to hurt the market. Automated manufacturing systems are gaining popularity as they enhance manufacturing productivity and reduce operating costs. Automation systems refer to a machine, tool, or technology such as robotics and AI that helps to reduce human intervention and improve safety in metal manufacturing processes such as processing, assembling, and material handling. This allows metal manufacturing companies to increase efficiency and production, improve safety on the manufacturing floor, enhance product quality, perform complex and varied tasks, enhance process stability, provide flexibility to produce products, and eliminate routine manual tasks. For instance, in November 2021, ABB Limited, a Switzerland-based manufacturing technology company, launched a smart factory solution. The new system is exceptional because it provides powerful real-time ladle tracking in addition to automated crane scheduling, a predictive thermal modeling engine, and other features. The tracking engine continuously monitors the movement of ladles using cranes and transfer carriages. In comparison to radio-frequency identification (RFID) solutions, radar and laser positioning technologies offer precise vision while requiring less hardware and maintenance.
