Building back better – how automation could help the recovery of the UK
This presentation discusses how robotics and automation could help address the challenges faced by industry and the reasons why now is the right time to be considering investments.
Advice on the initial steps and where to source advice are also provided. Throughout world industries it is recognised that robotics and automation do provide significant benefits.
However, in the UK we do not use these technologies as widely as our major competitors. Greater adoption would help address the challenges faced by UK industry.
The current situation makes the need for investment more pressing as well as providing conditions which are favourable to support these investments.
It is important, particularly for new users, to undertake projects in the right way using the support that is available to ensure projects are executed successfully and provide the anticipated benefits and return on investment.
