Imposing robotic systems in modern industry brings great advantages, such as: flexibility to perform different processes, continuous profitability, and consequently increased competitiveness in today's market.
Robotic islands have now succeeded, and rightly so, in entering the working life of many companies, bringing guaranteed and excellent results-both economically and environmentally. Wear-and-tear jobs are allocated to the machines, while operators are responsible for making sure the line has no problems and that there are no snags, as well as providing control over the quality of the supply chain.
Are there other less obvious benefits as well?
The recording of analytical data and its storage/sharing, is now more than ever the direct consequence of robotic innovation because with this change to the production process, all production data, scrap and orders are known for certain.
The use of robotic islands in companies ensures a real possibility of overcoming obstacles and unforeseen events that could harm the economic stability of the company itself.
Precisely at delicate times such as this post isolation Covid19 in which companies have managed to overcome unstable times, they are forced to hire staff in times of revival. Indeed, if crises are not overcome, companies are destined to close down for good. Robotic plants are a very viable solution and can prove to be an effective "lifesaver" for moving on and investing in profitable activities.
What is changing is only the role of the operators, who must be increasingly trained and have more qualifications and skills. High school is already training the new skilled technicians, who will be responsible for tasks that are partly different from those of laborers in a production chain.
At the societal level, the changes are already evident: robots have replaced many tasks but have also created many others that until recently did not exist.
Positivism is the only weapon to address problems and overcome them-robotics is the only way that helps companies stay operational and grow.
