  • Industrial Automation Providers: a Look at the Top 10 WHITEPAPER
    WHITEPAPER Industrial Automation Providers: A Look at the Top 10 TABLE OF CONTENTS BULLISH ON FACTORY AUTOMATION GLOBAL SUPPLY AND DEMAND TOP 10 INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION PROVIDERS COBOTS JOIN THE COMPETITION THE BEST OF THE REST roboticsbusinessreview.com 2 INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION PROVIDERS: A LOOK AT THE TOP 10 Robots in manufacturing might seem like old news, but the industry is growing quickly, and many companies are vying to be the top suppliers. By Eugene Demaitre, Senior Editor, Robotics Business Review From the first numerically controlled machines in the late 1930s, through UNIMATE at a General Motors plant in 1961, to the robot arms with built-in motors and more programmable controls of the 1980s, robots have long had a place in factories. In the past several years, technological improvements and innovative use cases have boosted interest in robotics, even among small and midsize enterprises. Today’s industrial robots are more accurate, diverse, and versatile than ever. Articulated, cartesian, and parallel robots serve different needs, and software support is becoming just as important as distinctions in hardware. Machine learning also promises to help robotics in manufacturing. Automotive and aerospace manufacturers are still the biggest consumers of robotics. They have been joined by electronics, machining, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics makers, and food processors. In this RBR Insider report, we look at 10 top providers of robots to manufacturers. As with any list, it’s somewhat subjective, since there are so many competitors to choose from. However, Robotics Business Review’s research and selections for the 2018 RBR50 list, our many conversations with developers and end users at events such as RoboBusiness, site visits, and reader feedback have led us to this year’s roundup.
