Soft automation, often referred to as flexible automation, is reprogrammable and reconfigurable. Robots fall into this soft automation category. This method is ideal for handling small batches of product and product changes.
Hard automation, also called fixed automation, is built with a specific production purpose. CNC machines are examples of hard automation. This automation approach is best suited for mass production of the same product with few alterations or change-overs.
