A problem that affects everyone
Every second manufacturing executive today says: "We can't get people."
It's not just a question of recruitment or remuneration. The demographic trend is clear - the industry's workforce is shrinking and this trend is set to intensify.
Why automation is not about replacing humans
Automation is often seen as a threat to jobs. The reality is the opposite:
-
the goal is not to replace people, but to ensure that production can function at all,
-
the work previously done by shift operators must be moved to machines and systems,
-
without this step, it will simply not be who to give the job to.
Evolution, not revolution
Every step towards automation means:
-
less pressure to recruit,
-
higher production stability,
-
better return on investment even with fewer workers.
Automation is the natural evolution of production. Not a revolution, but Evolutionthat enables companies to remain competitive in a labour-scarce environment.
