Grow with a Robot [Jan 2012]

By January 11, 2012 7:00 am IST

Today, it has become hard to imagine an industry without robots! Over the years, seeing the importance of automation, the demand of robotics has grown manifold. The need to automate is increasing in all industries at a higher pace. Though percentage wise robotics have higher acceptance in the automotive segment; sectors such as electrical/electronics, rubber and plastics, metal and machinery, pharmaceutical, food & beverages are demanding more and more automation. Introduction of electric cars, modernisation of production processes, development of new materials, and automation of assembly tasks are primarily driving the growth of robotics in the automotive industry. In the electrical and electronics industry the trend towards more energy-efficient products and technologies is one of the prime demand drivers. The increasing concerns over energy-efficiency and reduction of CO2 emissions have stimulated the need of efficient automation in the metal and machinery industry. This modern technology also complements the metal and machinery industry in flexible production and reducing costs.
Huge potential for robot installationsAccording to the German Engineering Federation (VDMA), the average robot density is 51 units per 10,000 employees worldwide in which Japan heads the list with an average of more than 300 units, followed by Korea (280), Germany (260), Italy (170) and Sweden (160). Though late, the Indian industry has started accepting the robotics technology. “With the rapid development across the spectrums, the demand of automation is bound to grow within the Indian industry. Though, as of now the robot density in the country is far below the world average, it is gradually catching up”, said Rajesh Nath, Managing Director of VDMA India during a curtain raiser event of AUTOMATICA 2012 held in Mumbai recently. Dr. Bernd Forster, Deputy Consul General of Consulate General of Germany was also present at the venue.
