Why You Need Automation in Manufacturing
Since the mid 1970’s automation and robotics have played an increasingly import role in the worlds manufacturing sector. This trend has grown and continues to grow at such a rapid rate that the IFR (International Federation of Robotics) has projected the world’s factories will add an additional 1.7 million new robots between the years 2017 and 2020.
Year over year growth rate of new robots and automation is estimated to be 14% with 5 of the world’s top economies encompassing 74% of the total additions. Those 5 economies are China, South Korea, Japan, United States, and Germany respectively (see chart below).
Clearly there is a lesson to be learned from this rapid growth and steps that modern factories need to take to stay competitive today. In the United States alone manufacturing companies comprise 2.17 trillion dollars of the U.S. economy and 98% of those companies are considered small business by the BLS (Bureau of Labor and Statistics). Due to the increasing globalization of manufacturing across the world it is imperative today that companies in the United States and those around the world employ every method possible to increase productivity, efficiency, and quality. This will allow them to stay competitive in the global manufacturing markets today and to thrive for years to come.
