Robotics and Automation News, July 2021

In the drive for modernisation and increased output across existing production lines, one solution is investing in automation and robotics. These can have an immediate impact, although require big investments and can have a wide-ranging effect on your business. However, what are the key considerations when weighing up whether to invest or not? Can you automate existing equipment? What impact will it have on your employees?
