Robots now play a key role in boosting quality, reliability & efficiency at automotive plants | Automotive Manufacturing Solutions
“Robot sales to the automotive sector have increased from 19,300 in 2009 to 69,400 in 2013, with China, Germany, the US and Japan the main takers. Indeed, a recent report by independent business information provider, Visiongain, estimates that automation and robotics in automotive manufacturing reached a value of approximately $13.66 billion in 2014. The growing uptake of robots is expected to continue in the coming years with increasing commitment from auto plants.”
