After their first industrial robot installation, manufacturers frequently add further automation. After all, robots boost productivity, profitability and quality. It’s no surprise an estimated three million industrial robots will be in use globally by 2020.
Given that robots boost productivity, profitability and quality, it’s no surprise they are rife. In fact, it is estimated three million industrial robots will be in use globally by 2020, according to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR).
Until a few years ago, the phrase ‘Industrial Revolution’ was largely associated with radical engineering changes that transformed industry. Two centuries later, we’re experiencing another shift in the manufacturing landscape, the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR).
