The day-to-day challenges of a business, between production meetings, operations management and unforeseen events such as a machine breakdown, can often overshadow the global vision.
How robotic solutions are revolutionizing the job market
In this article, we'll explore five situations where adopting robotics solutions can bring significant benefits to your business.
1. Lack of labour or an aging labour force
Recruiting qualified staff is becoming increasingly difficult, and the prospect of key members retiring can leave gaps in your team. Contrary to popular belief, automation does not necessarily mean job losses. On the contrary, it offers an opportunity to fill hard-to-fill positions. With the right technologies, your existing operators can quickly learn to work with collaborative robots, simplifying the transition. By adding a layer of data digitization and artificial intelligence, it also makes it possible to digitize the know-how of the aging workforce on the verge of retirement, enabling this know-how value to be repatriated to your organization.
2. Increase your production and quality consistency
Robotics offers the possibility of regulating production, ensuring consistent quality. Robots work without breaks, improving productivity and meeting deadlines. Consistent quality reduces waste and optimizes overall company efficiency.
3. Produce more with the same machine (new work shift)
Robotization adds an extra work shift without the need for direct operator assistance. With an adequate supply of parts, robots can operate overtime. Connected systems enable proactive monitoring and alerting of events requiring human intervention.
4. New customer contract
Getting a new contract can be a challenge when your machines are already busy. Investing in robotization offers the flexibility needed to meet growing demand without increasing existing staff.
5. Strategic for competition
Companies investing in robotization stand out in a competitive market. This demonstrates a commitment to improve productivity and quality, offering significant competitive advantages when competing for contracts.
How to anticipate challenges and optimize your operations
Investing in robotization can significantly optimize your operations. By examining these five situations, you can evaluate which robotization solutions are best suited to your company's specific needs. Looking ahead to these challenges positions you well in an ever-changing business environment.
