As industries advance deeper into digitization, a world where robots are woven into the fabric of everyday operations is no longer science fiction. The age of the ubiquitous ‘automated helper’ is already here. Today, there are approximately 162 robots per 10,000 employees worldwide.

Built To Assist: The New Industrial Role Of Robotics

As we step into the era of Industry 5.0, mass robotic power is poised to bridge labor shortages, mitigate safety risks and ease operational pressures. In the U.S., 70% of businesses are looking to bring production closer to home, with robotic automation and workforce upskilling identified as essential components of this transition, according to EY.


Globally, 53% of manufacturers are in the early stages of adopting new industrial robot hardware, while 28% already have industrial robots deployed within their facilities, according to ABI Research, which surveyed companies across the U.S., Germany and Malaysia.


Helping Hands


Fully autonomous refineries may still be on the horizon, but companies are already deploying robotics to preserve older assets, modernize operations and supercharge efficiency.


This shift is being driven by multiple pressures: aging infrastructure across manufacturing, energy and heavy industry; the high cost and long lead times of greenfield projects; supply chain volatility; and growing regulatory and ESG demands.
