Realizing the Use of Robots for Complete Manufacturing
Published on : Sunday 26-07-2020
Robotics is not only for the industry. With a wave of innovations in dexterity, robots are finding a place in a wide array. The global market witness a substantial shift in the robotics market though the industry has long been at the forefront of robotics in manufacturing in 2019 and early 2020. Currently, carmakers continue to be on board with automation across the plant, but currently, nearly half the robotics market (47%) is non-automotive.
"Consumer packaged goods companies are actually beginning to deploy and include robots. Robotics is going to bring a revolution of change, It is no longer only a tool. It is going to be something which's likely to modify the manufacturing floor of the future." – DDR Communications
Producers are currently taking advantage of the dexterity, vision, mobility, connectivity, and security of today's robots to reap these benefits as reduced labor costs, improved throughput, enhanced worker safety, enhanced product quality and consistency, and adaptive.
DDR Communications conducted research to learn what the industry had to say about robotics. The 2019 Robotics: Innovation 2 Implementation report explores input from a wide variety of resources including automation suppliers, OEMs, contract packagers, robot makers, end-users, industry specialists, and college innovators and among others, that are significant transformation.
Workforce problems are a substantial part of the trend. We hear about the labor skills gap and the general labor shortage. Robotics will play a role. However, those end users are desperate to get assistance. There's a lack of expertise, and they want assistance justifying the investment, finding the right applications, and training their employees to utilize the technologies. The time can be a barrier to adoption that is robotics, as is beating skepticism.
The report describes six key factors used to justify ROI in robotics, though distinct companies are approaching ROI in many ways:
• Reduced labor costs
• Increased throughput
• Total cost of ownership
• Enriched quality/reduced waste
• Reduced worker injuries
• Measurable uptime
ROI was typically expected within a couple of years, but it was frequently fully realized within a year. Though fulfilling labor demands are a substantial driver behind the growth of robotics in manufacturing, it does not indicate that manufacturing jobs are going away from the industrial sector.
