Technological development means that the most advanced solutions are now also used in industrial operations. Companies implement them with the expectation of profit and increased competitiveness. However, robotization in a company can also raise many doubts and concerns. A lack of understanding of what this process actually entails has led to numerous myths surrounding it. Check whether your own perceptions of automation and robotization of production processes are based on unverified information that has little to do with reality.
Myth 1 – Robotization leads to job cuts
Resistance to innovation within a company can arise from employees, whose concerns often stem from fear of losing their jobs and income. Indeed, automation and robotization of production aim to reduce human involvement in certain tasks. However, this mainly applies to routine, repetitive processes that typically do not require extensive skills and are based solely on performing the same action or sequence of actions continuously. In practice, people are therefore replaced by machines in the most monotonous and burdensome jobs. This does not have to lead to job cuts. Machines will always require operators and staff to oversee them. After implementing robotic solutions, companies often invest in their employees, assigning them to other, more advanced and creative positions. Employers benefit from the fact that these workers are already proven, eliminating the need for external recruitment. Efficiently planned and well-executed business robotization can therefore become an opportunity for career and skill development—rather than a threat to job security.
Myth 2 – Only large companies can implement robotization in production
Many business owners still hesitate to introduce automation because they imagine it as a large, complicated investment suitable only for big companies that can afford such expenses. In reality, however, production robotization can be an excellent solution for small and medium-sized enterprises. These businesses must face strong market competition, which makes it crucial to find factors that can create an advantage over other companies in the industry—or at least level the playing field. One such factor can be streamlining production through robotization. This enables cost reduction and speeds up the production process. The investment also does not have to exceed your budget. Customized solutions may involve introducing automation to just one stage of production—the one that is most time-consuming or hazardous. If you realistically define your expectations, industrial robotization can be a major opportunity for your company, regardless of its size!
Myth 3 – Robotization is too complex to implement in a company
Some companies choose not to adopt technological improvements, fearing that the process will be lengthy and require not only significant financial investment but also substantial human and time commitments. In practice, however, robotization of production processes can involve entire production lines or simply the introduction of one or several machines to handle uncomplicated, repetitive tasks.
