…in 2021, according to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR). This makes it one of the biggest users of robots. Here are five potential advantages from robotics for electronics manufacturers: 1. Rapid quality control One of the most convenient aspects of using robots is their ability to automate quality-control (QC) inspections. This can be a highly time-consuming stage of the manufacturing process, particularly when dealing with sensitive electronics. Robots can take over QC with the help of artificial intelligence, machine vision, and cameras. As units move through the production line, cameras can rapidly inspect them. The camera footage goes to…

…this year. Even though the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) and the Association for Advancing Automation (A3) continue to report record robotics industry growth, there are significant challenges. The COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath have altered consumer habits, and trade disputes and worker shortages have disrupted global supply chains. In addition, the conflict in Ukraine has affected food and energy markets, while concerns about inflation and recession have sparked debates in Silicon Valley, Wall Street, and Washington, D.C. Technology companies have not been immune to layoffs and shutdowns, and about 75% of North American warehouses have yet to add robotics.…

…look with a lot more robots in the field. “IFR predicts that we’ll see 10 times as many robots in the next five years,” Hulgard said. “How are we going to reach that number if we are not exponentially gaining more engineering hours? We have the same amount of engineers but we have to install 10 times as many robots. The only way you can do that is by minimizing the amount of time needed to install each robot. Standardized solutions and software like D:Ploy is addressing that issue by minimizing the amount of time and money needed to deploy…

…manufacturing industry, according to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR). And there is plenty of room for further growth, asserted Dorssers. “There is a lot of potential for the manufacturing industry and other industries such as agriculture to increase robot adoption,” he said. “Most sectors have a shortage of people and must invest in automation to make up for it.” In manufacturing, it has gotten increasingly difficult to find employees over the past couple of years. Since 2020, the job vacancy rates in the Dutch industry have reached record-high levels, peaking at 4.6% during the first two quarters of 2022.…

…by 12%, according to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR). In the first half of this year, North American orders totaled 16,865 robots, down 29% in comparison with the same period last year, reported A3. Robotics 24/7 spoke with Jeff Burnstein, president of A3 and a 2023 Engelberger Award winner, to learn more about the current state of robotics and future prospects in manufacturing and other industries. Examining the Q2 decline Did the second-quarter results come as a surprise to you? Burnstein: Not at all. I tell people that I look at this from a 40-year lens, not a quarter-to-quarter…

…robot density, according to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR)—do you expect that leadership to continue? Sharma: In South Korea, the application of robots extends beyond basic manufacturing industries. The market for service-oriented robots is expanding and diversifying across a wide range of sectors, including food preparation, serving, delivery, surgery, security, architecture, and even military applications. The share of service robotics in the domestic robot market grew by 12%, and the share of individual service robots increased by 16% in 2020. These service robots are equipped with advanced AI and autonomous driving technologies, enabling them to navigate obstacles and people…
