Sugar manufacturing is an industry where many processes are already standardized and repetitive, making it suitable for automation. However, the need for substantial physical infrastructure and compliance with moderate regulatory barriers presents some challenges to rapid AI adoption. While the workforce could be partially replaced by AI, full automation would require significant investment. The industry's adaptability to AI varies, with some areas ready for integration and others more resistant.
