Automation and the use of robotics is heading the same way, although not yet in the local superstore.
Our first experiment with a cobot went well and instead of being a mobile tool that we could use around the machine/mould shop has become fully employed on one task. Consequently there is now a second and by the end of September we will have half as many robots as we have people!
I should point out that these are not replacing people, they are undertaking the highly repetitive tasks that give our people the flexibility in their day to do other tasks.
Cobots and robots don’t get bored, they are good at repetition, so they complement us humans, especially those with short attention spans!!
Remaining as always, at your service,
