☆ Robot invasion slows in the face of weaker US economy, high interest rates

REUTERS/Jordan Vonderhaar Acquire Licensing RightsAug 31 (Reuters) - Even a robot invasion can't beat a slowing economy. Robot sales boomed through the pandemic, as producers scrambled to use the machines to churn out badly needed goods. Burnstein added that A3 expects the softness in robot orders to continue until the fourth quarter or early next year. In the past, they were concentrated in auto factories and their suppliers, which still make up a large share of all robot orders. Since construction projects vary in size and complexity, he said, there are spells when the robot isn't needed at all.

☆ The robots are coming — and the companies building them are looking for workers

But as companies adopt robots on manufacturing floors, in kitchens and on delivery routes, workers have a growing opportunity to join the ranks in helping to build and implement the technology. On the other hand, 60% of companies operating in information and technology services expect jobs to be created due to robots in the next five years. Jose A. Iglesias | Tribune News Service | Getty ImagesRobotics company Zipline is among the companies looking for employees, as it aims to add at least 100 workers. The use of automation at companies large and small has two advantages, the Association for Advancing Automation argues. It reduces challenges for workers in taking away monotonous or dangerous tasks in their day-to-day roles and it keeps companies competitive and speedy in the production process.

☆ Three industries ripe for automation, according to a robotics guru

A software and robotics machine called mGripAI from Massachusetts-based Soft Robotics sorts artifical pieces of chicken into trays for packaging at an automation conference held by the Association for Advancing Automation in Detroit. But other industries where robotics haven't yet taken hold may be potential investment opportunities and expansion areas for automation companies in the coming years. Those emerging areas intrigue Jeff Burnstein, an automation-industry guru and president of the Association for Advancing Automation. His trade group represents more than 1,000 global companies involved in robotics, machine vision, motion control, and motors and related technologies.

☆ North American companies notch another record year for robot orders
  + stars: | 2023-02-10 | by ( Timothy Aeppel | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +4 min
Many companies, scrambling to find workers amid the lowest U.S. unemployment rate since 1969, see automation as a quick fix. Burnstein said there was a visible slowdown in orders at the end of the year, which raises a question about how 2023 will evolve. A shift away from pandemic-era consumer behavior likely played a role in the orders drop-off in some segments, he added. "You saw companies like Amazon put a pause on building new warehouses, which means they probably canceled or delayed purchases of new automation." Burnstein said robot makers saw some customers place extra orders during the COVID-19 health crisis - just to ensure they would get part of what they needed.
