This is an excerpt from a recent educational article by YASKAWA:
Design improvements for capability and flexibility, as well as advancements for system tools and processes, are fueling this “robolution,” enabling a wider user group to utilize robotic automation – with new entrants from the consumer goods, electronics, food and beverage, life sciences, pharmaceuticals, and plastics industries leading the way.
From increased worker safety, part throughput, product quality and operational flexibility, to reduced costs and labor turnover, the reasons for robot implementation are varied and specific to each organization’s requirements.
