Robotic Process Automation: Overcoming the Manufacturing Mess

Robotic Process Automation: Overcoming the Manufacturing Mess
Jan 16,2024

We are experiencing a new face of digital dominance almost every day. The world is on the verge of a technological revolution, and automation will soon supplant human labour. Yes, that's right, because for day-to-day mundane tasks, the time taken and the cost incurred to perform these tasks are a big challenge in today's competitive environment for the manufacturers.

In this blog, we will discuss RPA or Robotic Process Automation which is one of the most important concepts for today's and tomorrow's production technologies. It is one of the advancements through which manufactures and decision makers can keep themselves up to date in the light of this technological and developing world.

Increased labour costs, low production capacity due to manual work, lack of time savings, employee costs, and the physical limitations of human labour limit production and efficiency, and these are the main reasons that there is an essential need to switch to RPA. It would help the manufacturers achieve production quality and minimize manpower-based production. It ensures maximum production capacity and serves as the foundation for Industry 4.0!

 

 

Considering the events occurring in the manufacturing industry, implementing robotic process automation would revolutionize the entire infrastructure of the industry, and all that would change would be for the better. Having said that, it would be worth implementing RPA and replacing human jobs, allowing it to take over most of the basic tasks (mundane work) and do so with greater efficiency.
 
In recent years, the manufacturers have understood the need to implement the RPA, and the demand has increased. With the help of robotics technology, manufacturers are achieving high efficiency in production. There is no doubt that robots have replaced human labour in recent years, but they have saved manufacturers time. Especially when machine tools and robotic automation systems began to work in full harmony, their production capacity increased, and subsequent time savings were achieved. And if we look more positively, what RPA does best is remove unnecessary labour and stop the workforce from doing repetitive tasks. It allows humans to do what they do best—innovate!

The Cosmos Group of Vadodara, started the manufacturing of CNC machine tools in 1987, is now providing industrial automation turnkey project solutions.
> Cosmos digiFAC has introduced "Cosmos Boxy Autoloader," which is the smart automation solution for machine tending. This robot automation system brings the highest efficiency to your factory for small and medium-sized workpieces and the most cost-effective way for CNC machine tending operations. There are three types in our Boxy Autoloader series. I will discuss this in more detail in my upcoming blog.
 
According to the new World Robotics report released on October 13, 2022, there will be an all-time high of 517,385 new industrial robots installed in factories worldwide in 2021. This marks a 31% year-on-year increase and a 22% increase above the pre-pandemic record of robot installation in 2018.

The stock of operational robots around the world hits a new record of about 3.4 million units.

These data show that, within the six years between 2015 and 2021, the number of yearly robot installations worldwide more than doubled, and that the use of robotic automation is expanding at an astonishing rate.

Now let's talk about Asia region and especially India:

Asia remains the world's largest industrial robot market. We can derive the information that 74% of all newly deployed robots in 2021 were only installed in Asia. In addition, the forecast says it will be 77% by 2025.

Installations for India grew strongly by 54 percent, with 4,900 units shipped. This high growth rate indicates the rapid speed of robotization in Asia and India.
