This in-depth market data research is split into two key modules: Market Growth Outlook and Competitive Analysis. Each of these modules is further configured into several sub-modules to meet the needs of executives as well as marketing, sales, and product development managers. All of these modules and sub-modules may be purchased as a bundle or separately. A brief description of these modules, sub-modules, and their use cases is included below.
The industrial robotics market analysis report delivers current market analysis plus a five-year market forecast.
Industrial Robotics Market Driven by Digitalization
The Industrial Robotics market is heterogeneous and dynamic with many new suppliers entering and exiting. The Chinese suppliers in the industrial robotics market have been gaining ground due to several factors. Since the mid-2000s, the rise of Chinese suppliers has introduced competition and price pressure to incumbent suppliers. This is driven by digital transformation, falling prices, and a lack of skilled workers, leading to a higher degree of automation. Additionally, the Chinese government has provided substantial subsidies to robotics suppliers, contributing to the growth of the domestic robotics industry. Due to digital transformation and the road to lights out production, in some industries the demand for industrial robots will be high, as at the same time new type of robots like cobots, AMRs, and drones will take some share from classic robots. New technologies, mainly AI, will drive the market for industrial robotics.
Industrial Robotics Market Strategic Issues
In addition to providing a five-year market forecast, the Industrial Robotics Market Research Report provides detailed quantitative current market data and addresses key strategic issues as follow.
Consider Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS)
Robot-as-a-Service can be a good option for users who cannot or do not want to buy a robot. RaaS lets users save on the initial cost, maintenance, as well as training and hiring robot experts. They also get regular updates and support from the suppliers, who are motivated to make their robots more reliable and advanced. Users can also adjust their operations according to their needs and budget.
Use OPC UA
OPC UA is more than just an open protocol for machine-to-machine communication. Before OPC UA robotics, there was no uniform interface standard for robots. The complete specification contains protocols for both peer-to-peer and master-slave communication (the latter is the publish/subscribe model that allows controllers to communicate deterministically with field devices). OPC UA also includes a growing number of companion specifications that are essentially information models that standardize semantics for devices and applications.
Integration of Robots in a Machine
Machinery OEMs integrating robots in their machines should check how the robot programming can be integrated with machine control programming. Are two different tools required for developing the programs and for maintenance tasks, or is there a user-friendly integration into one software tool available? Another aspect is the communication interface between the robot control and the machine control (e.g., PLC). Just recently a new vendor independent communication standard between PLCs and robot controls has been drafted by major robot suppliers. This standard should be available for the robot control and the PLC used.
