Adaptability

The urethane and other foam product manufacturing industry is moderately complex with balanced regulatory and capital requirements. There is significant potential for AI disruption, especially in standardized and repetitive tasks, but specialized roles and certain custom manufacturing processes still require human expertise. The industry is adaptable and actively seeking AI solutions, though full displacement by AI is unlikely in the near term.
