Challenges in UK manufacturing include competition, rising costs, and skills shortageRobotic automation benefitsImplementing robot automationDifferent types of robots are available for manufacturingExamples of successful businesses using robot systems are providedThe potential benefits of implementing robotics in UK manufacturingwww.prime-workforce.co.uk
"In terms of robots, it is all about improving productivity. It's about increasing yield, getting more out for what you put in, particularly improving the utilization of other equipment."
"Using the staff where their skills and attributes can add value to the product, and using robots where you've got tasks that are mundane, repetitive, arduous. Tasks where effectively you're using people as robots. So why not use robots for those tasks?"
"Robots will give you consistency, they'll give you consistent high quality, they'll minimize damage, they'll reduce waste, reduce rework."
"It's about using the people where you can get most out of the people and using machines, using robots where the repetition is not really suited to the people themselves."
"In terms of ROI, most of our customers see a return on investment of about 18 months. But once they've invested... Is that all? 18 months? 18 months. I mean, It can go up to 2 years."
"We don't have to reinvent the wheel. And that reduces the risk. So we can help businesses identify where they can best supply the automation."
