How industrial robots increase productivity

Automation is key to getting—and staying—competitive

If you’ve read our sister company’s blog lately, you would know that industrial automation is all over the news.

With millions of industrial robots installed worldwide since their breakthrough in the 20^th century, companies from all industries are taking advantage of automation to grow their customer base and revenue.

That means it’s getting harder to remain competitive without automation. Companies without automation miss out on productivity gains, among other benefits, when they don’t use industrial robots.

Industrial robots make manufacturing goals into a reality. Learn more about the five ways in which robots increase productivity below.

5 ways industrial robots can increase your productivity

1. Consistent results

Industrial robots are programmed to do the same motion with every cycle. Whether they are painting, welding, handling materials, or any other application, it’s what they do best: performing the same action repeatedly with high precision.

Production will be faster with fewer errors, and fewer materials will be wasted, resulting in a more sustainable and efficient manufacturing process.

2. Reduced downtime

Robots can work all hours of the day through the night. Except for power outages and maintenance, manufacturers can rely on their industrial robots to work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Downtime can be expensive. At an average of $5,600 per minute, carelessness and a lack of urgency can sink your company. Industrial robots significantly cut downtime so manufacturers can get products to their customers without unnecessary delay.

3. Improved product quality

Greater consistency means more uniform products. Robots make fewer mistakes and have cleaner welds, among other applications, so product output is reliable.

Plus, your customers can rely on you to provide the same great quality products when you use industrial robots, leading to increased customer loyalty and revenue.

4. Solving turnover

Industrial robots assist with employee turnover. By taking over the dirty, repetitive, monotonous, and dangerous jobs, robots provide steady labor while offering safer and more fulfilling jobs for your staff.

Hiring qualified workers in the manufacturing industry is especially difficult right now due to a skills gap and the COVID-19 pandemic. Preserve the staff you do have by adding industrial robots to your production line to assist with the job.

5. Reduced injuries

Last but not least, industrial robots protect your employees from injury. As mentioned above, robots can handle the more undesirable jobs, such as assembly and material handling.

Musculoskeletal injuries are among the most common injuries in manufacturing because of repetitive motion and a lack of ergonomic workspaces.

Your employees can be more productive knowing their needs are being provided for in a safe workplace.
