The challenges brought by the megatrends in industry

LESS SKILLED
WORKFORCE
DIGITALIZATION INDIVIDUALISATION
AUTOMATION
Compete in the battle
of finding experts
Use new technologies to
stay competitive
Improve
flexibility
Demand for
lot-size-one
Provide the training
required for operating
automated production
equipment
High effort to analyze,
collect, and use the
robots’ data
Production complexity
becomes even more
higher
Reduce
time-to-market

4
Many pain points that are often neglected
© 2021
Robots require specific knowledge
Challenging to integrate robots in existing manufacturing systems
Higher engineering effort and operation costs
Different HMI devices with different operating philosophies in one
production facility
Lack of data transparency between robots and manufacturing systems
No standards available – all robot manufacturers differs in regards of
tools, HMI devices, behavior

5
The challenge
Increasing complexity due to robot manufacturer variance

Manufacturer B Manufacturer …
Manufacturer A
CHALLENGES
• Handling of robot manufacturer-
specific SW and HW
• Robot manufacturer-specific
programming know-how
required
• Program must be newly
created for every robot
manufacturer
• Manufacturer-specific interface
definition between robot and
machine
• High complexity for service
and maintenance

Using one type
of robot or robot supplier
CAN HELP REDUCE
these challenges but it
ALSO LIMIT
your manufacturing

A large part of these robots is programmed
through relatively low-level methods such as teaching
© 2021
The engineer or
technician needs no
special programming
skills but can teach
the process to the
robot

72% | Teaching
• Positions are taught on-site and saved
• Handling, Assembly, Pick & Place,
Palletizing, Load and unload
26% | Simulation
• Positions are taught in simulated
environment, saved and transferred to RC
• Welding, Sorting, Glueing, Painting, Material
processing
2% | Algorithm
Positions are calculated by algorithms
are transferred to RC

There is a widening gap between the jobs that need to be
filled
© 2021
Furthermore, the study
shows that the positions
relating to digital talent,
skilled production, and
operational managers
may be three times as
difficult to fill in the next
three years
Source: https://www2.deloitte.com/us/en/pages/manufacturing/articles/future-of-manufacturing-skills-gap-study.html
The skills gap may leave an
estimated 2.4 million positions
unfilled between 2018 and
2028, with a potential
economic impact of 2.5 trillion

Growing use of robots
Situation of machine builders and manufacturing companies
© 2021
Manufacturing
companies
• Use of different robot
manufacturers is usually
necessary (different robots
for different applications)
• Robots from different
manufacturers are in the
same production line
Machine builders
• Manufacturing companies
often determine the robot
manufacturer
• Use of robots from different
manufacturers
• Special expertise is required
for every robot manufacturer
• Most OEMs do not have the
required expertise in the
company
