…the U.S., according to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR). Robot density is increasing worldwide, as increasingly sophisticated software, robots, and additive manufacturing make production quicker and more efficient. The software development journey typically starts with the creation of the user interface portion, as outlined by Maryville University. Programmers eventually move on to craft the code that processes, analyzes, and responds to the data collected by robots and other systems. Developers must constantly learn about specific processes to retrofit code or hardware to evolving business and market needs. For the plastics industry, integrated robots and software offer innovative solutions for…

…quarter of 2022. Similarly, the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) reported a 28% increase in industrial automation orders between the first quarter of 2022 compared with the same quarter last year. In addition, Robotics 24/7 has tracked up to $16 billion in robotics, 3D printing, drone, and autonomous vehicle transactions so far this year, including more than $920 million this month. In July alone, additive manufacturing provider VulcanForms raised $355 million, service robot developer XPENG Robotics obtained $100 million, autonomous mobility firm May Mobility closed on $111 million, and autonomous aircraft developer Merlin Labs raised $105 million. Preliminary annual installations…

…Milton Guerry, president of the International Federation of Robotics (IFR). Guerry cited e-commerce as a hotbed in particular. “There are thousands of robots installed worldwide today that did not exist in this segment just five years ago. Consumer behavior is driving companies to address demand for personalization of both products and delivery,” Guerry said. And no one we spoke with said anything different. “More and more companies are realizing the numerous advantages robotics provides their businesses,” Guerry said. That list ranges from faster, more accurate picking to reduced labor requirements. Both the labor shortage and a lack of interest in…

…in Europe, according to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR). “The robotics and automation industry is booming,” stated Frank Konrad, chairman of VDMA Robotics + Automation (VDMA R+A). “However, suppliers will not be able to process the orders that are on the books as quickly as usual. The challenge now is to manage bottlenecks in the supply chains.” Three subsectors grow in 2021, 2022 The VDMA noted that three subsectors performed differently in the past year. In 2021, industrial robot sales in Germany increased by 13% to €3.5 billion ($3.6 billion), it said. Machine vision sales grew by 16% to…
