How could automation address the challenges?
Without doubt, these challenges can be overcome by automation and control systems. It goes without saying that new-age control systems are needed to overcome these challenges and legacy systems would eventually need to be changed.
Quantum computing
There are many new technologies on the horizon that promise to deliver higher processing speeds with smaller chip sizes. There is a theoretical limit to how small chips can become, but there are ingenious workarounds for that problem. One promising line of development harnesses the power of quantum electronics to perform calculations at high speeds. However, these developments first aim to improve processors for large calculating machines, such as supercomputers.
As far as microprocessors and microcontrollers are concerned, the existing technologies can continue to deliver improvements for another decade or more. This means if Moore’s law continues to operate, and we find no reason...
