While some aspects of the metal coating and engraving industry lend themselves to AI and automation, the need for specialized human skills and regulatory compliance present notable challenges. Capital investment is fairly balanced between physical and digital needs, and while there is moderate technological use, there is still significant room for improvement. The mixed skill set of the workforce and varying adaptability also mean AI's impact will be transformative but not wholly displacing.
