There are countless application scenarios for the use of robots in companies: welding, drilling and bonding are just three examples of tasks that machines can perform quickly, untiringly and with consistently high quality. At the same time, however, automation also entails digitalization. After all, the use of robots in industry rarely refers to just the machine itself. The robot controller and software are also included. That is precisely where the challenge lies for many companies. According to a study conducted by the industry association Bitkom and the German Confederation of Skilled Crafts (ZDH), while 81 percent of companies asked responded that they are open for innovations, some 64 percent of respondents expressed reservations with regard to digital technologies.
