With more affordable, adaptable and easily programmable robots stimulating greater use of robotic automation, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (smes), manufacturing productivity is increasing, and industrial automation platforms in the vibration chain are emerging.

Manufacturing productivity continues to rise as more affordable, adaptable and easily programmable robots spur greater use of robotic automation, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (smes).Robots are widely used to perform dull, dirty and dangerous tasks. They also help increase manpower, optimize operations and improve product quality, thus improving competitive advantage.At the same time, the increased use of robots is helping to redeploy existing workers to other value-added tasks and create new jobs for existing and newly hired employees, such as:

Programmer: Ideal for experienced welders, this position can be used specifically to program new robot jobs.This often requires the use of offline robot simulation and programming software (such as MotoSim®) to enable programmers to easily create, test, and adapt robot programs or jobs before desktop computers are implemented on the factory floor.It is important for the robot programmer to keep up with the latest manufacturing requirements, which may affect programming, and he or she should be prepared to assist in the design, assembly, and maintenance of the robot (or unit of work) as needed.

Robot/Work unit Operator: Robots help the workforce in a variety of ways, thereby relieving workers of the annoyance of performing tedious, dirty and dangerous tasks on a daily basis.Redeploying manual workers to tasks such as loading and unloading parts, inspecting parts quality, or monitoring and reloading welding wires and other consumables goes a long way toward sustaining a successful operation.They also help jog and reset robots in the event of a collision, saving time by calling robot programmers.

Roboticists: Companies with a large number of robots may choose to keep in-house maintenance specialists who can build, wire and test robotic systems as needed to keep operations running smoothly.This minimizes the need for service contracts and visits from robot integrators or manufacturers.

Unit of work champion: The position is more complex and this job requires a person who is fully responsible for the existing robot operations in the workshop to ensure the full utilization and success of all robots and units of work, including implementation, maintenance, programming and operator training.To ensure the best return on investment, the person in the position should also be assigned to look for new parts to automate, the vibration chain industrial automation platform.

Repair/Custom welder: Although robot automation is very accurate, sometimes it is necessary to have an employee check for defects or fix parts.Similarly, some companies improve customer satisfaction and remain competitive by offering custom welders, which are usually done by the master welder.

Mold engineers: extensive automation adaptation may require employees who specialize in the design and manufacture of specialized molds.Although the initial cost of such a tool is often high, it may make more financial sense in the long run if a knowledgeable engineer can help oversee the design phase.

Control engineer: A person with high analytical skills is best suited for this position and is responsible for ensuring that the best products are produced in the most efficient way.This role is ideal for environments where a lot of automation has been introduced and where each machine needs to communicate together.

Other positions: While the created to-do list can continue, several other important positions include logistics manager, operations manager, Sales manager or representative, product technician (depending on the product line), Purchasing manager or representative, and security manager.

Since many of these occupations will require higher skill levels, it is essential for companies to develop comprehensive plans to improve the skills of current workers as production demands and plans change.It should also provide a more sustainable workforce for the training of future workers.This is usually done through public-private partnerships to maintain the positive impact that robots have had.

Keep in mind that while the shift to easy-to-use robots is meeting the training requirements for some of these positions, the need for these positions is still there and will not eliminate the need for human resources (even though they may look slightly different) in a few years.

Looking ahead, traditional robots will continue to be widely used across industry, while collaborative robots that work with or with humans will continue to penetrate a wide range of markets.Each performs a specified task to positively affect production operations.In addition, companies that choose to invest in robot automation and successfully adapt to the organizational changes it brings are more likely to have more confidence, cope with market fluctuations more easily, retain employees, remain profitable and competitive, and build industrial automation platforms in the industrial chain.
