Almost 1/3 of SMEs plans robotization

Nearly 1/3 of small and medium-sized production enterprises in Poland plans robotization in the next 3 years, according to a survey carried out at the request of Universal Robots "Robot Robotic Barometer".

“38.8 percent of companies in this group are planning to implement collaborative robots, while this indicator is correlated with the size of the enterprise - among representatives of small companies, 42.9 percent indicated robots, while among medium-sized enterprises - 36.8 percent,” the release states.

The most important factor motivating SMEs to robotize jobs is to improve production efficiency. SMEs expect that robotization will primarily allow them to reduce production costs and thus increase their efficiency, facilitate the increase in the volume of manufactured products, and reduce the time from order to implementation. Next, the companies mentioned the elimination of human errors, difficulties in employing or retaining personnel, increasing competitiveness and work safety, as well as standardization of processes.
