“The roboticization of manufacturing is mostly finished“ -huh? 95% of the factories I go to don’t have the stuff at Promat. I was just at a UR beginner training

“The roboticization of manufacturing is mostly finished“ -huh? 95% of the factories I go to don’t have the stuff at Promat. I was just at a UR beginner training class with engineers from fortune 50 companies. The robotic tools out there cover a vast majority of the processes but pricing, integration, and reusability still leave some huge holes in the market.
- jedharris 8y agoWhat do you mean by "reusability"? Also, how well does your sample match the US factory population? Is there data on robotization of factories by size, product type, etc?
- danvoell 8y agoBy reusability, I just mean most automation components that I see are single use and set up by integrators. I think they can continue to be simplified for factory engineers to reuse. Universal Robots is there, but most aren’t. To me, saying robotization is complete is akin to saying computerization of business is complete because IBM has a mainframe.
