Automation is really transforming 𝐟𝐚𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 and 𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠. 🧑🏭📦 FABTECH Expo and PACK EXPO are just around the corner. Thousands of exhibitors will be there, many of whom will show the latest and greatest in automation and robotics. 🤖 With all these options, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed. How do you find what you need? We look forward to once again exhibiting at the shows and helping companies make sense of their options. 💡 The right solution does not always have to be the newest (although it can be). What matters is that it does the job it’s supposed to do - in the most cost-effective manner. We’re excited to hear what companies are looking to automate this year - and how we can help them make it a success. Let us know if you will be there! #automation #robotics #tradeshow #fabtech #packexpo

It’s the last day of the PPMA Show, and we’re many conversations richer. Many manufacturers have realized they need to automate. Labor shortages were mentioned more than once. There is a need to increase capacity without having to look for more people. Companies want to take good care of the people they have. Move them away from draining work better suited for robots to more engaging and value-adding positions. We are grateful to support these companies through this important transition and help ensure that it happens in a sensible way and with the results they hope for. Did you miss us at the show? We’re at stand A109 - come by and say hi 👋 #automation #robotics #UKIndustry #PPMAShow

To stay competitive during the reshoring boom, automation must be accelerated. 🤖📈 This is one of the key messages from Harry Moser, President of the RESHORING INITIATIVE. In our latest article, he and our Co-CEO Søren Peters, discuss how manufacturing dynamics are going through a big shift these years: ⚠️ Geopolitical risks are giving manufacturing reshoring a strong momentum. 🧑🏭 The US is bringing back a vast number of manufacturing jobs previously lost to offshoring – at over 25x the rate from 2010. 🦾 Robotics and automation are key enablers for making reshoring feasible and unlocking higher productivity. However, competition here is growing: Today, China has massively overtaken the US in the race to become more automated using robotics. 💡 In 5 years, China went from having less than half the robot density of the US to now leading by over 37%. The bottom line? “𝘞𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘰 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘧𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘊𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘢 – 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘸𝘰 𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘦𝘦 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘴 𝘧𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘴 𝘸𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘥𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘵,” says Harry Moser. With recent advances in robotics, accelerating automation is entirely possible – if companies know how to spot the use cases: “𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘢 𝘭𝘰𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘭𝘰𝘸-𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘳𝘶𝘪𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘜𝘚 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘶𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘦 – 𝘰𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘦𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘳 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰𝘰 𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘵 𝘰𝘳 𝘤𝘰𝘴𝘵𝘭𝘺 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘵,” says Søren Peters.
