Human-robot collaboration, the winning synergy in 2024

Integrating robots into manufacturing or operations flows is no longer just a trend - it is a significant shift that is dramatically transforming the way companies produce goods and provide services.

In recent years robots have seen substantial progress with the integration of advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI). This evolution goes far beyond basic automation, giving robots enhanced decision-making abilities and adaptability in dynamic work environments. Today, robots are designed to operate seamlessly alongside humans, benefiting from enhanced safety features that include advanced sensors and machine learning algorithms, ensuring a more efficient and safer interaction.

At the same time, the emergence of Industry 5.0 represents a new chapter in the evolution of the relationship between people and technology. It is a stage that aims to support people by collaborating with robots and intelligent machines, by no means replacing them. The European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) summarized this evolution as inevitable in the context of the proliferation of robotic automation. Acknowledging that Europe has lagged behind the United States and China in advanced technologies, the European Union's (EU) advisory body called for accelerating the development of AI and robotics in the region. "The EU should embrace digitization for the sake of consumers, producers and employees alike."

Adopting automation in business workflows through robots brings multiple benefits, such as:

1. Increased efficiency:

Robots can perform repetitive or complex tasks faster and without errors, thereby increasing operational efficiency.

2. Enhanced safety:

The integration of advanced sensors and machine learning algorithms ensures safer interactions between robots and humans in the same work environments.

3. Adaptability to change:

Robots with advanced AI capabilities are more flexible and can quickly adapt their behavior in changing environments.

4. Solving the labour shortage:

At a time when the labour shortage is becoming a major problem, in most companies, regardless of the field of activity, robots can take over difficult or repetitive tasks, thus helping to maintain production flow.

5. Strengthened competitiveness:

Companies become more competitive by reducing production costs and by being able to deliver products or services faster and to higher standards.

Thus, the development of our robotics division for the year 2024 reflects a strategic necessity in the current, ever-changing social context.
