There are many reasons why people choose to work with a professional removal company when relocating. It’s crucial to look at exactly why a highly skilled team is so important in the moving industry.
The world of work is changing in many industries, with artificial intelligence (AI) potentially beginning to replace repetitive administration tasks. However, manual jobs that require skilled manual labour are unlikely to be replaced by AI or robots. We will continue to need occupations like plumbers, electricians, builders and movers. Whilst AI may handle the administration of removal services in the future, it’s unlikely that robots will be carrying couches downstairs and into the moving van.
A Belgian moving company, Schollaert, is using exoskeleton technology that reduces the physical effort required by movers to lift heavy items. However, this is a case of technology assisting, not replacing valuable human skilled labour.
In the future, when AI has developed significantly across various industries where it may dominate, the value of the manual skilled jobs that remain will likely remain unchanged.
From an administrative point of view, there may be elements of the moving industry that are altered by emerging technologies. However, this is much less likely for the physical service of moving itself.
