Veo Robotics’ 2022 Manufacturing Automation Outlook — Veo Robotics
In fact, manufacturers surveyed by Veo cited many areas that they would like to automate but cannot because of safeguarding complexities or obstructions. Areas mentioned include, operator load stations (24%) welding & soldering (18%), primary packaging (17%) and palletizing/depalletizing (13%).
Thankfully, with intelligent safety measures such as Speed & Separation Monitoring (SSM), human workers can interact safely in close proximity of a robot without having to enter a desperate caged work environment. With these new innovations manufacturers can prioritize safety and productivity, without having to sacrifice one for the other.
Methodology
Veo Robotics conducted an online survey of 531 manufacturers across the US, UK, and Japan in Q2 of 2022.
