…today? The International Federation of Robotics, or IFR, today published its research in the 2023 update of “World Robotics R&D Programs.” “The third version of 'World Robotics R&D Programs' covers the latest funding developments including updates in 2022,” stated Jong-Oh Park, vice chairman of the IFR Research Committee and a member of the organization's executive board. The study found that that the most advanced nations in terms of annual installations of industrial robots—China, Japan, the U.S., South Korea, and Germany,…
…(A3) and the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), robot adoption continued to grow and set new records worldwide. “Despite increased adoption, we’re still in the early innings,” Jeff Burnstein, president of A3, told Manufacturing Automation. “While non-automotive sectors are now surpassing automotive sectors in robot use, there are hundreds of thousands of small- and medium-size companies around the world who still haven’t automated in a wider range of industries than ever before.” 2023 robotics trends include challenges But 2023 wasn’t…
…workers, said the International Federation of Robotics (IFR). Robotics suppliers can be found across Spain. Source: HowToRobot Spain is home to many integrators The report identified a total of 384 robotics and automation suppliers in Spain. The vast majority of them—65%— were integrators, with 11 % being robot manufacturers. While most industrial robots in Spain are imported, a significant numer of mobile robots was developed and manufactured locally, said the report. With 96% of Spanish companies having nine or fewer…
…according to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR). This makes it one of the biggest users of robots. Here are five potential advantages from robotics for electronics manufacturers: 1. Rapid quality control One of the most convenient aspects of using robots is their ability to automate quality-control (QC) inspections. This can be a highly time-consuming stage of the manufacturing process, particularly when dealing with sensitive electronics. Robots can take over QC with the help of artificial intelligence, machine vision, and…
…to The International Federation of Robotics, or IFR. The number of operational industrial robots relative to the number of workers hit 322 units per 10,000 employees in the manufacturing industry, IFR said. Today, China ranks in fifth place. The world´s top 5 most automated countries in manufacturing in 2021 are South Korea, Singapore, Japan, Germany, and China. “Robot density is a key indicator of automation adoption in the manufacturing industry around the world,” said Marina Bill, president of the International…
…Last month, the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) reported that more than half a million robots were sold globally last year. Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are being used for a variety of tasks, and suppliers say they see an increased interest in more flexible systems that can carry higher payloads and adapt to changing workflows. Recession worries loom over industry OTTO Motors CEO Matthew Rendall told Robotics 24/7 that he is interested to see how this holiday season plays out.…
…to the International Federation of Robotics, or IFR. By region, the strongest growth came from Europe with a market share of 38% followed by North America with 32% and Asia with 30%. Sales of new consumer service robots grew by 9%, according to IFR’s “World Robotics 2022—Service Robots.” “Service robots for professional use are extremely diverse,” said IFR President Marina Bill. “They are usually designed to perform a specific task and can be found in warehouses, in hospitals and airports…
…president of the International Federation of Robotics (IFR). “Within six years, annual robot installations more than doubled. According to our latest statistics, installations grew strongly in 2021 in all major customer industries, although supply chain disruptions as well as different local or regional headwinds hampered production.” Asia continues to lead in roboticization Asia remains the world’s largest market for industrial robots, reported the IFR. Seventy-four percent of all newly deployed robots in 2021 were installed in Asia, in comparison with…
…president of the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), in a statement. The county has been the world’s largest industrial robot market since at least 2013. Chinese government bullish on automation China’s aging workforce has led to a shortage of employees and has helped drive robotic adoption, the federation has found. Government officials in the country have announced plans to expand the country’s use of robots even further in the coming years. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology noted in…
…Even though the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) and the Association for Advancing Automation (A3) continue to report record robotics industry growth, there are significant challenges. The COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath have altered consumer habits, and trade disputes and worker shortages have disrupted global supply chains. In addition, the conflict in Ukraine has affected food and energy markets, while concerns about inflation and recession have sparked debates in Silicon Valley, Wall Street, and Washington, D.C. Technology companies have not…
…IERA Award 2022.” The IERA award was jointly presented by the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) and IEEE RRAS. In 2021, ABB Robotics' PixelPaint technology won the IERA Award.
…according to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR). Robot density is increasing worldwide, as increasingly sophisticated software, robots, and additive manufacturing make production quicker and more efficient. The software development journey typically starts with the creation of the user interface portion, as outlined by Maryville University. Programmers eventually move on to craft the code that processes, analyzes, and responds to the data collected by robots and other systems. Developers must constantly learn about specific processes to retrofit code or hardware…
