Automation technology can lead to increased costs of manufacturing in a few ways:
Initial investments of robotics and manufacturing related automation can be expensive. Automation equipment and technology can be costly to purchase and install, leading to a higher initial cost for manufacturers.
Related equipment and software maintenance and upkeep is also costly. Automation equipment requires regular maintenance, repairs, and upgrades which increase the operating costs for manufacturers. Software driving robots and machines is also costly to develop.

Manufacturing environment training and expertise, as well as manufacturing corporate education and professional development is expensive. Manufacturers may need to train existing employees or hire new employees, both direct and indirect, with the necessary skills to operate and maintain and manage the automation equipment which leads to increases in product production and final goods inventory costs.
