I have seen this so often, this top-down approach. And it never arrives at the factory floor.
All those object orientated, industry 4.0 robots, they looks so nice to the professionals on trade-shows, and then there is one example bought- and put to all the other show-off-proto-types in the company-tour room of archievments- and on the factory floor we use the same old robots, for which all the legacy software was written - that nobody can ditch anymore.
And none of those high flying concepts ever talk about those maintaining the robots. Those who never attended High School, who are okay with a 9000 line copy pasted Procedural program, and not okay with object orientation or even functional programing style.
Im so sick of all that wasted time in startups, where people like me fresh from university develop - new, idea robots, who will never take hold in a actual factory- because none of those revoluzzers wants to spend all its time in that factory, maintaining the robot- beeing the only one competent enough todo so.
Sorry if this is a rant, but i wish for once that economic reality would nuke some sense into the architects of that tomorrow that never comes. Maybee we could have small, nice things, if we where willing to do the little steps.
