WHAT IS IT?
Robot installations hit an all-time high in 2021, with the International Federation of Robotics’ (IFR) data showing over 500,000 new industrial robots were installed that year. In North America, robot sales hit an all-time high for the second year in a row in 2022, according to the Associate for Advancing Automation (A3), bringing in $2.38 billion.
WHY IMPORTANT
Robot programming has become easier and more accessible to non-experts. Providers of software-driven automation platforms support companies, letting users manage industrial robots with no prior programming experience. Original equipment manufacturers work hand-in-hand with low-code or even no-code technology partners that allow users of all skill levels to program a robot.
