DO YOU THINK ROBOTICS WILL EVER FULLY REPLACE MANUFACTURING WORKERS?
No. What we are seeing is a reduction in full-time employees within the fulfillment process once robotics or automation have been implemented. The same production volumes can be achieved with fewer employees; however, additional engineering and maintenance personnel are necessary to support the new systems.
While the proliferation of robotics into the manufacturing and fulfillment industries is growing each year; these advancements do not replace warehouse workers in most cases. Instead, their duties are often repurposed.
