Over the past decade, two striking trends have emerged, reshaping manufacturing practices across industries.
Robotic adoption picking up pace in non-auto industries: a significant transformation has been observed in the pace of robot adoption within the consumer electronics and hi-tech sector. Traditionally, the automotive industry led the charge in integrating robotics into manufacturing processes. However, recent years have seen a notable surge in the adoption rate within the consumer electronics and hi-tech sector, outpacing the automotive industry
Robotic adoption is now occurring much earlier in the manufacturing timeline compared to a decade ago: A comparative analysis between early and late adopters of robotics reveals intriguing patterns. Early adopters, who implemented robotics over a decade ago, tend to be larger establishments with an average employment size of 162. In contrast, late adopters, who embraced robotics within the last ten years, have an average employment size of 48, indicating smaller-scale operations.
