Topic > Has industrial automation had a positive economic effect?

In this modern society, industrial production has started the transition from human labor to automation, especially in developed countries such as Japan, Germany, China and the United States. The use of robots in technology and industry is now common. According to Rotman, due to industrial automation in the United States and China, there has been a decline in the number of human labor in the industry today compared to 1997 (Rotman, 2013). Japan is the leading country in the production and use of robots, followed by Germany and some European countries. Sittig stated that today Japan has control of no less than 40% of the world's robot population and that 50 million dollars have been invested in the development of the technology (Sittig) SINCE WHEN?. Guizzo stated that by 2008, 8.6 million robots were registered (Guizzo, 2010). It is necessary for the modern manufacturing system to solve the high order quantity and quantity requirements issues by applying automation. Furthermore, automation might perform a delicate task with an insignificant amount of errors, but it is not always the case to demonstrate solution solutions and display technological sophistication (Wickens, 2004). Union leaders argue that automation causes mass unemployment, while entrepreneurs say it is one way to stay competitive (Rose, 1965). Robots are capable of performing and performing tasks that humans cannot or are impossible to perform. There are several benefits of using automation such as; save costs, increase productivity and increase worker safety in the workplace. The negative effects of automation are reduced employment, damage to small businesses and reduced flexibility.
