Advantages and Disadvantages of Robotic Automation.
- ADVANTAGES
- Cost Effectiveness. There will be no lunchbreaks, holidays, sick leave or shift time allocated for robotic automation.
Improved Quality Assurance. Boosted productivity and efficiency.
Heightened customer satisfaction.
Increased Productivity. In warfare, robots can save human lives.
Work In Hazardous EnvironmentsDISADVANTAGESPotential Job Losses. Initial Investment Costs. If ultimately robots would do all the work, and the humans will just sit and monitor them, health hazards will increase rapidly.
Robots can perform defined tasks and cannot handle unexpected situations.
Till the robot reaches the level of human intelligence, the humans in workplace will exit.
High initial investment. Robots typically require a large upfront investment.
Expertise can be scarce. Industrial robots need sophisticated operation, maintenance and programming.
They incur deep startup costs: Robot implementation is an investment risk, and it costs a lot.
