Understanding Industrial Robots and Automation
Modern manufacturers are facing a wide range of challenges, including supply chain disruptions, labor shortages and rising raw material costs. To weather these challenges and keep pace in a competitive market, manufacturers need solutions like industrial robotics and automation.
What is Robot Automation?
Robot automation is the use of robots to perform tasks that were traditionally done by humans. These robots are programmed to carry out repetitive, high-precision tasks such as assembly, welding or packaging with greater speed and accuracy.
Robot automation can improve efficiency, reduce human error and operate continuously without tiring. The overall goal of robot automation is to lower costs, increase productivity, and improve workplace safety.
What are Industrial Robots?
Industrial robots are automated, programmable machines used in manufacturing to perform tasks such as welding, assembly, painting and material handling. They are designed for high precision, speed and repeatability, and they are often employed in environments that are hazardous or otherwise unsuitable for humans.
Examples of industrial robots include:
- Assembly robots
- Material handling robots
- Welding robots
- Painting robots
- Machine tending robots
What are the Benefits of Industrial Manufacturing Robots?
Industrial robotics and automation come with a wide range of benefits for organizations that deploy them. Some of the biggest benefits of industrial robot automation include:
- Increased efficiency: Robots can work continuously without breaks, helping to increase output and speed.
- Improved precision: Robots can operate with higher accuracy than humans, reducing both errors and wasted resources.
- Cost savings: Greater precision and efficiency with less waste add up to lower costs for manufacturers.
- Enhanced safety: Deploying robots in hazardous environments reduces risks incurred by workers.
- Flexibility: Many robots can be reprogrammed and adapted to perform different tasks as production needs change.
