   A wind turbine manufacturer wants to test a new blade design to improve energy output. Building physical prototypes is expensive and slow. They have detailed aerodynamic models and historical performance data. What should they do?

   • ACreate an AI-driven digital twin of the turbine that simulates the new blade design under various wind conditions
   • BUse a supply chain optimization system to schedule blade production
   • CUse a predictive maintenance model to forecast blade wear
   • DImplement a computer vision system to inspect blades after manufacturing

   An electronics assembly plant wants to introduce collaborative robots (cobots) to work alongside humans on a line that currently has fixed automation. The line has high variability in product types, and workers frequently need to step in for complex tasks. The plant also wants to ensure safety without slowing production. What is the best approach?

   • AUse a predictive maintenance model to reduce downtime of the fixed robots
   • BDeploy cobots with AI vision that can adapt to different product types and slow down or stop when a worker is detected in the work area
   • CImplement a computer vision system to inspect products but keep the existing fixed automation
   • DUse fixed automation robots with safety cages and no human interaction

   A factory wants to automate a packaging task that currently requires two workers to lift heavy boxes. The task is highly repetitive and the boxes vary in size and weight. The factory also wants to maintain flexibility to change packaging layouts frequently. Which robotic solution is most appropriate?

   • AImplement a computer vision system to inspect boxes for damage, but continue manual lifting.
   • BInstall a fixed automation system with a dedicated gripper designed for one specific box size.
   • CDeploy a collaborative robot with a vision system and adaptive gripper that can handle varying box sizes and work alongside workers.
   • DUse a fleet of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) to transport boxes, but keep manual lifting for loading and unloading.
