The Metal Heat Treating industry involves a mix of standardized and specialized tasks that influence its complexity. Although there are moderate regulatory and compliance requirements, the high capital investment needed for infrastructure combined with the moderate use of data poses challenges for AI integration. The workforce's mix of specialized and general skills offers some flexibility, but full AI displacement faces significant barriers.
