The virtual presence is monitored through control systems that are seamlessly integrated with heavy machinery. The advanced nature of the cloud-based system being employed contributes to the overall efficiency. While it is evident that these integrations are done to reduce the risk involved due to the negation of any human error, the fact remains that, at the end of the day, humans will be monitoring these functions. Therefore, there is a need to make the workforce familiar ...
