Complexity

The sandstone mining and quarrying industry, while reliant on significant physical infrastructure and machinery, shows potential for automation in repetitive and standardized processes. Regulatory and environmental compliance issues moderately impact AI adoption. The industry has a moderate level of technological integration, with potential for increased AI use, but workforce specialization poses some resistance to full automation.
