Connected and Hassle-Free Manufacturing Lines Drive Collaborative Robots

Blog: NASSCOM Official Blog

The market adoption for collaborative robots (cobots) varies considerably by industry sector.  This report includes revenues of hardware, software, and services for cobots and covers different payloads (up to 5 kg, >5-10 kg, and >10 kg ) and different arm types (articulated, parallel/delta, dual-arm, SCARA).

Manufacturers across all vertical industries are constantly re-examining their production processes and automated equipment in an effort to find ways to introduce more flexibility into their production systems.

Cobots will become a key source of information on the factory floor. The collection of data, however, is just one part of the task. Manufacturers will have to implement systems to organize and analyze all of this information in order to act on it.  Big Data analysis will become a competitive differentiator.

As cobots become connected to internal systems for data collection, cybersecurity risks increase.  Manufacturers will be forced to address vulnerabilities in their processes and invest heavily in cybersecurity to ensure safe, reliable production.

Today, the collaborative robotics market is in a state of growth.  ARC anticipates that the market for robotics hardware, software, and services will grow rapidly and expand globally.

The report identifies growth segments and market trends, as well as the challenges suppliers face to achieve expansion in a very fragmented market landscape.  In addition to the quantitative assessment, the report provides an insightful analysis on issues that will have an impact on this market in the future.
