New analysis : mass robot potential for UK manufacturing SMEs in next 3 years
Robot technologies that were considered experimental a few years ago , are now commercially viable for small and medium sized enterprises ( SME ’ s ) in the manufacturing sector , according to a recent analysis from HowToRobot . com . The study estimates that robots will be a feasible option for more than 50 % of SMEs within the next three years due to a global trend towards “ proven robotics ” which has reduced the cost and complexity of implementing robots .
HowToRobot . com ’ s analysis further revealed that knowledge of robot technologies is still very limited , and that only 1 in 5 SMEs conduct proper market research prior to investing in robotics . However HowToRobot . com is seeing an increasing trend of companies sourcing robots and related services from the fast-growing global market through digital marketplaces .
