Share Equipment failures are time-consuming and costly. Consider that downtime costs manufacturers between 5% and 20% of their productive capacity, meaning they lose at least that much potential revenue until machines are back up and running. Even more worrisome is that 80% of facilities are unable to accurately predict total downtime, meaning they’re forced to react after failures happen rather than staying ahead of the problem.

Robots are a cornerstone of a smart factory, automating a wide range of manufacturing tasks that are monotonous, physically straining, or even hazardous. However, real-world robotics deployments have not lived up to the revolutionary potential the industrial sector had originally envisioned. Robot implementations are typically confined to specific applications, carry high costs, and are time-consuming.
