Automation in Industrial field has reached an amazing level. Lets go in some detail.

WHAT ARE INDUSTRIAL ROBOTS?

An industrial robot is a robot system used for manufacturing. These are automated, programmable and capable of movement. These robots are often used for work like welding, painting, assembly, and packaging and labelling.

ROBOT MARKET IN INDIA

The robotics market in India has gained momentum because of industrial expansion, digital revolution and adoption of automation at a large scale. In terms of annual insertion, the market of industrial robots in India stood at 5,000 units in 2019 and is approximated to stick out to 11,760 units by 2025, expanding at a compound with annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.41% in 2020 to 2025 .Industrial robots can be impulsively controlled , programmed and manipulated in more than one axes. Based on mechanical layout and level of autonomy, industrial robots are classified as stand-alone robots, robots and mobile robots.

India has welcomed robotics at a moderate stride as compared to countries like Japan, China, U. S, and South Korea . The high cost of hardware components, maintenance, support, and research and development is a major roadblock. In addition, India is quite deficient in terms of trained resources for the implementation, integration and maintenance of industrial robots. Moreover, the lack of a standard programming platform and user interface poses substantial challenges.

Use of robots in COVID-19:

The robotics market has lots of opportunities to demonstrate distinctive use cases for various industries. Robots allow industries to function flawless with lower human arbitration . In the wake of the pandemic, the adoption of industrial robots has expedited since they offer a safe interface between patients and frontline healthcare workers. 

Industrial robot manufacturers including Asimov Robots Pvt Ltd, Milagrow HumanTech, Invento Robotics and Perception Innovations came up with unique robotics solutions for applications such as disinfection and sanitization, patient screening, remote treatment and delivery of food and medicines. In addition to the unavailability of human workers because of lockdown has inspired players in automotive and logistics sectors to apply robotics in their daily functioning.

THE FUTURE OF INDUSTRIAL ROBOTS

The future of industrial robotics holds easily deployable & maintainable technology. Robots of the future are bound to be low-maintenance as the constant need of a highly skilled workforce to operate them is a major turn down for manufacturers. The change towards easily deployable, operable and maintainable has already kicked off with Visual Offline Programming, which has simplified the design & commissioning phase of a robot. 

 The concepts introduced by INDUSTRY 4.0 LIKE IoT can make robots highly sturdy by providing them with a complex of robots to communicate. This means that aside from human-robot partnership, robots would be able to communicate with each other in future and issue a synergistic response to any change in the Framework within the industry. Such changes would truly make a human’s job repetitive, and reserved only for emergency cases.

THE IMPACT OF INDUSTRIAL ROBOT

Productivity and performance are major components to any successful workplace. Time is precious, and one huge impact of the addition to robots regarding time is the idea that robots can be arranged to fit any schedule.This will increase productivity and efficiency. They have the ability to run on hours that do not typically fit into a human employee’s schedule, and can essentially work 24/7. This maximizes the use of time and productivity.

Since robots can move quickly and efficiently, there would be a great reduction of mistakes that could potentially be made by a human hand. Multitasking, which may be hard for human employees to complete without robots, which will eliminate the need for extra, less efficient machinery can, easily make mistakes. This allows for a steady flow of production and will advance efficiency.

Not only are robots cost effective in the workplace, they also can have an impact on local economies. Through a boost in productivity, companies will no longer have to look to other countries as a source of labour. With the implementation of robots, all labour can be done locally, and in a manufacturer's own space.
