Increase in accuracy, safety, and productivity
Adoption of industrial robots in the production plant gives the automobile manufacturer a competitive advantage. The use of automotive robotics for manufacturing offers various advantages such as improved quality, increase in capacity, reduction in warranty costs, relieves bottlenecks, and protects workers from dangerous and difficult jobs. In addition, when personnel are replaced with automotive robotics, potential inaccurate workflow is reduced, which in turn results in increased, productive, and accurate output. Also, integration of robots in production facility allows continuous flow of operation with streamlined processes. Further, automobile production plants use robots exclusively for tasks such as painting, spot welding, and also, there are potential opportunities for using robots throughout the supply chain to increase productivity. Moreover, robots don’t suffer end-of-shift fatigues and thus, the production cycles are consistent throughout the day and consistency is maintained in peak production rates. Thus, increase in accuracy, safety, and productivity is boosting the growth of the automotive robotics market.
By Application
Painting segment is projected as the most lucrative segments
High cost of industrial robots
Adoption of industrial robots by the company increases the profitability of an operation by reducing the labor cost and increasing the productivity. Purchasing a robot in short duration is estimated to be more expensive as compared to hiring personnel for labor or using other human operated equipment. Profitability due to adoption of industrial robot can be realized by the company in longer term. In addition, industrial robots installed in the facility are projected to undergo routine maintenance and repair, which will result in some operational downtime. Thus, it can be burdensome on smaller operations that may not have readily available access to capital. Therefore, high initial investment cost and maintenance cost is anticipated to hinder the growth of the automotive robotics market.
Incorporation of industry 4.0
Industry 4.0 can be defined as the new phase in the industrial revolution that is highly focused on automation, interconnectivity, real time data, and machine learning. Industry 4.0 is also referred as smart manufacturing and operations with smart digital technology to create a better connected ecosystem for companies focused on manufacturing and supply chain management. Robotics is an integral part of the industry 4.0. The factories and manufacturing plants are anticipated to be dependent on new type of equipment such as mobile and collaborative robots that are connected to each other. Also, artificial intelligence (AI), data analytics, and cloud computing will also make industrial robots more reliable in coming years. Furthermore, the primary goal of the industry 4.0 is provide maximum efficiency with zero downtime. As robots are installed with more sensors, they will become more digitally connected and remarkably less susceptible to disruptions. Thus, incorporation of industry 4.0 is anticipated to provide a remarkable growth opportunity for the players operating in the automotive robotics market.
