Small batch sizes will not be able to take advantage of the mass production techniques such as special purpose machines or transfer lines. Hence, the need for flexible automation is felt , where you not only get the benefits of rigid automation but are also able to vary the products manufactured thus bringing in the flexibility. Numerical control fits the bill perfectly and we would see that manufacturing would increasingly be dependent on numerical control in future.
