This job has 20 core tasks. We went through 10 of them, one at a time.

Task by task, from the work Conveyor Operators and Tenders actually do. How we describe AI use in each task is our own read of it, not a measurement of whether AI can replace the job.

1. TASK 01

   Record production data such as weights, types, quantities, and storage locations of materials, as well as equipment performance problems and downtime.

   AI DOES

   Reads sensor feeds, auto-fills production logs, and flags downtime patterns

   YOU DO

   Notice unexpected equipment behavior and decide what problems are worth recording

2. TASK 02

   Observe packages moving along conveyors to identify packages, detect defective packaging, and perform quality control.

   AI DOES
