Manufacturers are introducing more robots into production lines because robots are highly flexible, cost effective, can operate accurately 24/7, and perform heavy lifting and complex functions. Examples given include Adidas using robots for shoe production, Tesla's self-navigating robots used to move materials, and Swedish automotive manufacturer AD Plast installing robots to automate hose connector production. Robots allow for higher production rates, lower defect rates, and minimized setup and error recovery times. However, robots cannot handle unexpected situations, think for themselves, and may increase unemployment, though they can improve safety, accuracy, and consumer choice. For India to have "one man factories", challenges around procuring robot hardware and components locally must be

2. Why are manufacturers introducing more robots
into their production lines ?
Why are manufacturers introducing more robots
into their production lines ?
• They are highly flexible and can
perform complex functions.
• Cost effective.
• Accurate inspection.
• Can be programmed to operate
24*7.
• Heavy lifting.
• Can perform complex functions.

3. Manufacturers that use Robots :
• Adidas Runners • Also known as Speed factory.
• Has 74,000 sq.ft of robotic shoemaking capability.
• Focus more on one model, different size, or a
combination of core component is much easier.
• Requires less transition time.
• Tesla Gigafactory • Named after X-Men.
• Self Navigating Autonomous Indoor Vehicles.
• Can navigate factory freely using digital map.
• Used for moving materials between workstation.

4. • Changying Precision
Technology Company
• AD Plast
• Higher rate of production.
• Automated production line that use robotic
arms to produce parts for cell phones.
• Produce almost 3 times as many pieces as
before i.e. 162.5% incresed.
• Before product defect rate was 25% now
Below 5%.
• Swedish automotive parts manufacturer.• AD Plast • Swedish automotive parts manufacturer.
• Installed 15 ABB robots.
• Including 6-axis robots and 4 robotic
molding machines to automate the
production of a three-part cooling system
hose connector.
• Used in many models of cars.
• Minimizes the learning time, setup time,
error recovery time and improves error
diagnostic accuracy.

5. PROS
• There is no doubt that robots are
significantly stronger and faster
than humans.
• Can enable a shorter working
week.
• Accuracy in implementing the
task.
• Can improve safety and remove
risk of human error.
CONS
• They typically cannot handle
unexpected situations.
• Robots have no sense of emotions
or conscience.
• Where robots are increasing the
efficiency in many businesses,
they are also increasing the
unemployment rate.
• They can never improve their jobsrisk of human error.
• Can give consumers greater
choice of goods.
• They can never improve their jobs
outside the pre-defined
programming because they simply
cannot think for themselves.

6. Is India ready to have one man factory ?
• Given that robotics is fast entering into the industrial space in India.
• There are many challenges that need to be overcome before India is seen as
go-to destination for robotics.
• Biggest challenges is the procurement of the hardware and other electronic
components that are required to build a robot.
• This can be seen as a golden opportunity for budding entrepreneurs to set
up business that can supply “Made In India” components.up business that can supply “Made In India” components.
• And even hardware to the existing and upcoming companies involved in
robotics.
