Finally Toyota is also taking out its automation plans and bringing humans on the shopfloor..

It shows how humans only can improvise, innovate and improve existing processes which are automated. Automated processes are programmed to work according to the capabilities programmed into the chip by the programmer. It is his capability that is evident in the program on which the robot works. 

Human mind on the other hand, is infinitely capable to improvise and innovate and does not depend on machines which perform as per what it has been programmed to do, nothing better, nothing worse. 

Automated processes are taking the cut and going manual again !! Because that is the only place where innovation can work and bring in massive changes and improvements.
