The key objective of robotic automation is to improve worker safety, reduce costs, improve quality, and increase flexibility. Robotic autonomous operation is a means to achieve smart manufacturing goals. The advantages of robotics include the efficient execution of heavy-duty jobs with precision and repeatability

  

 

How industries use this automation and robotica:

 

Manufacturers across various industries choose automation to improve quality, boost productivity, and save labor costs. Many manufacturing companies will invest in at least one form of automation, from a single robot to a fully automated production line.Automation has become synonymous with using robotics and machines to reduce or replace work traditionally done by employees. But robotics is only one part of how automation works in the manufacturing industry. Robotics like three- or six-axis robotic arms can be used for material handling and pick-and-place tasks, completing them faster and more efficiently than through labor alone. These industrial robotic applications can improve high-volume, repeatable processes, such as orienting a part on a conveyor belt and lifting heavy objects. Controls engineers can program robotics to do the same task the same way every time, or, using more advanced technology, they can program them to be more flexible

Benefits of robotics in Manufacturing 

 

The benefits of robotics and automation in manufacturing are multifold. Manufacturers who install robotics and automation solutions into their production lines can improve productivity, accuracy, repeatability, and quality. Customers who have combined robotics, vision, conveyance, force sensing, and other advanced technologies in a total automation solution have seen a high return on investment and used the data from the machines to make better, more strategic planning decisions.

 

Disadvantages of using robotics in Manufacturing:

• Some disadvantages of using robotics in manufacturing include high initial costs for implementation, potential job displacement for human workers, the need for specialized maintenance and technical expertise, and the possibility of production disruptions due to technical failures or programming errors. Additionally, the inflexibility of robots in handling diverse tasks compared to humans and the rapid advancements in technology requiring frequent updates can pose challenges for long-term investment .The Role of Robotics and Automation in Manufacturing
