- 1. Four Ways Automation Has Helped Us Cope with the Coronavirus Pandemic “Companies that invest more in digital transformation actually outperform their peers over time. These companies are more prepared for disruption, better able to monetize new digital channels, and better able to build a bigger user base. What’s more, this phenomenon exists regardless of industry.” - Geoff Cubitt, CEO, Isobar US
- 2. As we’ve changed our daily habits to adjust to the pandemic, automation has become a larger part of our lives... and it's here to stay.
- 3. Here are the top four ways automation has helped us cope with the pandemic – and how it will likely continue to impact our lives.
- 5. • Self-service checkouts • Eliminate the risk related to staff handling every item purchased • Can be easily disinfected between uses • Are much less time-consuming than having staff members wash their hands after serving each customer
- 6. • Automated supermarkets • Rely completely on sensors to track what shoppers pick up • End standing in line for the register • Support social distancing
- 8. • Self-ordering kiosks in restaurants and apps eliminate the need for customers to speak to staff to order or pay. • Kiosks in hotels allow guests to check in and out without having to connect with a staff member.
- 10. • To adjust to customer needs, businesses have: • Widened delivery windows • Directed inventory to busy locations • Bypassed distribution centers • Lowered online order size • Relaxed return windows • Capped purchases of high demand products
- 11. • Businesses have also turned to automated warehouse solutions which: • Prevent overcrowding to ensure businesses can practice social distancing • Allow individuals to work in separate workstations that can be easily disinfected between shifts
- 12. #4 Robo-cleaners
- 13. • Robo-cleaners perform tasks that workers are unable to carry out while working from home. • These solutions help to maintain cleanliness while ensuring people can stay socially distanced.
- 14. • Robots are also being used to: • Deliver food, drinks, and medication to patients in hospitals • Measure temperature and distribute hand sanitizer
- 15. Final Thoughts
- 16. The use of automation in place of humans has always been controversial. However, as we shift our focus to staying healthy, it is only a matter of time before automating tasks becomes more widely accepted. Whether in supermarkets, warehouses, or hospitals—it is now apparent that our society has a more critical use case for automation than even its strongest proponents could have imagined.
