Will Automation Take Your Job? Our Research May Surprise You.
Industrial automation and the defense industry have been at the forefront of robotics development. In 2013 Japan had the most industrial robots at 309,400 units, with the USA in 2nd place with 215,650 units. Large automotive manufacturers like Toyota have been racing to eliminate as many humans from their operations as possible. The demand for industrial robots is accelerating due to the increase in tasks being automated by more complex and refined robots.
It seems that automation may eliminate your current job some day! However, we have looked into the research and studies regarding industrial robotics and we find that some companies are backtracking their pursuit of complete automation. New jobs are being created, new skills are being developed and workers are now enjoying increased wages. Toyota has begun to re-introduce humans into previously fully automated plants and are finding increased production with lower waste.
The Big Question:
Will automation lead to more innovation and prosperity or will we eliminate thousands of manufacturing jobs? Please enjoy the info graphic we have put together below, we would love to hear your views.
