What can you tell us about Industry 4.0? And about Industry 5.0?
These are buzzwords that have found their way into companies. 5.0 is even more about people working together with intelligent machines and robots.

3 Tips for the Automation/Robotisation/Digitisation of a factory
- Where in the company can I optimise processes and relieve people of their work?
- Pay attention to data security (cyber attacks must be prevented).
- Get partners on board who have already successfully implemented projects.
Which cobot manufacturer is most commonly found in the industry?
This depends very much on the region. In Asia, many local manufacturers are present. In addition, many of the established manufacturers have presented new cobot solutions, which will certainly cause a change in the market
Can process automation improve company sustainability?
Yes, because waste is minimised and resources are conserved as a result.
What impact has the pandemic had on industry?
As bad as crises are, they have a positive effect on shortening development times because certain items are needed quickly.
German and European companies have recognised the negative consequences of global procurement strategies and will hopefully rethink their strategies in the future.
Have you been affected by the current supply crisis?
Definitely yes! People tend to change things only when they feel a pinch.
We are currently also confronted with massive price increases, but we get the production material we need, so we can satisfy our customers. All companies are affected in one way or another.

The major advantages are the comparatively simple handling and design of the cell. Simple applications can also be implemented comparatively quickly.
3 Tips for the Automation/Robotisation/Digitisation of a factory
It is important to start early and gain your own experience. Even if the first project is not immediately profitable, in the long run you can make yourself sustainable. If in doubt, you should look for partners in order to move forward quickly. You don’t have to do everything alone.
Can process automation improve company sustainability?
Automation can bring production closer to the consumer because labour costs play a smaller role. This saves transport distances. Automation can also make a valuable contribution to more sustainability in the area of remanufacturing, i.e. the reprocessing of worn parts such as batteries in the field of e-mobility.
What impact has the pandemic had on industry?
One effect is certainly a greater sensitivity to the resilience of processes. The pandemic has highlighted the downside of the strong focus on efficiency and cost minimisation. Overall, this has resulted in a much greater openness to automation.
