Technological development means that state-of-the-art solutions are also being used in industrial activities. Companies are introducing them in the hope of increasing profits and competitiveness. However, robotization in a company can also raise many doubts and concerns. A lack of understanding of what this process really involves has led to the emergence of many myths surrounding it. Check whether your ideas about automation and robotization of production processes are based on unverified information that has nothing to do with reality.
Myth 1 – Robotization leads to job losses
Resistance to innovation in a company can come from the bottom up, and its causes lie in employees’ fears of losing their jobs and sources of income. Yes, automation and robotization of production are aimed at reducing human involvement in specific activities. However, this largely applies to routine, repetitive processes that often do not require high skills and are based solely on performing a specific activity or sequence of activities all the time. In practice, therefore, people are replaced by machines in the most monotonous and tedious jobs. This does not necessarily lead to job cuts. Machines will always need people to operate them. After implementing robotic solutions, entrepreneurs usually also invest in their employees and assign them to other, more advanced and creative positions, taking advantage of the fact that they are already proven employees and there is no need to recruit outside the company. Efficiently implemented and planned robotization in business can therefore become an opportunity for career and skill development, rather than a threat to job security.
Myth 2 – Only large companies can introduce robotization in production
Many entrepreneurs are still hesitant to automate their businesses because they imagine the process to be a huge and complicated investment, intended only for large companies that can afford such an expense. In reality, however, production robotization can be an ideal solution for small and medium-sized enterprises. In reality, however, production robotization can be an ideal solution for small and medium-sized enterprises. In the current market reality, such entities have to face fierce competition, so it is very important to find a potential factor that can give them an advantage over other companies in the industry or at least level the playing field for success. This factor may be the streamlining of production through robotization. This will reduce costs and speed up the production process. This investment does not have to exceed your budget. Individually tailored solutions may involve, for example, introducing machines to only one of the most time-consuming or dangerous stages of work. If you set realistic expectations, industrial robotization will be a great opportunity for your company, regardless of its size!
Myth 3 – Robotization is too complicated to implement in a company
Some companies decide not to take advantage of technological improvements, fearing that it will be a lengthy process requiring not only large financial outlays, but also human and time resources. In practice, however, the robotization of production processes can apply to entire production lines, as well as to the introduction of just one or a few machines to perform simple, repetitive tasks.
