Optical instrument and lens manufacturing is a specialized field requiring significant expertise, regulatory compliance, and capital investments. While there are elements of data integration, the bespoke nature of the products and the specialized skill set of the workforce limit the extent to which AI can fully displace the industry. Adaptability exists but is hindered by the precision and quality demands.
