Robot machine tending with a Fanuc robot at DMG MORI. Workholding by Schunk.
I don’t think many really understand how much work has been outsourced in the last 20+ years…
Good News:
I am seeing many large companies building robotic cells and bringing work back…
At the same time, many others will complain about the loss of jobs due to automation etc.
We need to understand…
That the work was gone… it was lost… Period.
But,
Now it’s coming back because of technological advances in Robotics and Automation.
Yes, it takes less employees… but – after seeing 50,000 US companies go out of business with no option on the table…
I am excited now that there is a realistic option.
Automate your process while using highly skilled workers to run entire Robot / CNC Machine Cell’s That House Many Machines.
If China has now automated the entire process of making a Cell Phone… Why can’t we simply do the same thing in our own back yard.
Can you see it?
Because of automation… All Countries can start producing their own parts and putting their own workers to work.
The price of Automation will also drop as more people adapt to it.
As far as workers are concerned…
Those that embrace technology, push the limits in CNC Machining and also learn how to program robots, design automation processes and solve big problems…
Will be paid very well.
250 Million Jobs will be LOST worldwide to Automation.
But
370 Million will be CREATED because of Automation.
