…preliminary 2022 data from the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) indicates there is some cooling of the industrial robotics market after record growth in 2022, the long-term outlook for robotics uptake remains bullish. It’s worth noting that A3’s data is based on orders, while the IFR data is based on installations, so there is a lag effect when examining these reports, in that installs/shipments trail orders. The consensus is that over the shorter term, macro-economic factors like inflation and higher interest rates have slowed the industrial robotics market growth somewhat, though the automotive sector remains strong. What’s more, the long-term…

…industry. Recent reports from the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) and A3 may differ on North American market growth, but they both noted that automakers and their suppliers again lead in robotics purchasing and use. The FANUC M-1000ia robot arm (see video below) moving a 1,000 kg (2,205.6 lb.) battery was one of the biggest returning displays on the show floor, coinciding with the industry shift toward electric vehicles. ABB is investing $20 million to modernize and expand its production in Auburn Hills, Mich. In comparison with Automate 2022, there were fewer autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and automated storage and…
