Automation advantage

23 August, 2022

The UK government itself outlined how much growth was possible in a Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), estimating there was a potential 40% annual growth for robotics and autonomous systems in the UK between 2020 and 2030. This could in turn mean an extra £6.4 billion in value for the UK economy by 2035. And, as ABB Robotics points out, if our creation and sale of autonomous robots is set to increase, our use of them across a number of industries may be set to increase alongside it. ABB Robotics adds that automating business process with robotics is not something to be scared of. “The myth that robotics steals jobs has long since been debunked,” it states, “and there is plenty of room for improvements within the manufacturing industry that they can help solve. Implementing robotics can help keep your business competitive in the global market, as well as provide an efficiency that is impossible to achieve with manual labour.” So, a key takeaway from the above statistics is that there is currently a record number of robots being installed in UK industry. However, if we up our game to industrial robot installation levels akin to countries such as Germany, Italy and France, the benefits not just for individual companies but also for UK plc could be truly seismic.
