Robotics packaging is being applied to an increasing number of industries as the advantages of robotics in packaging automation have become evident and identified as the future of production line packaging.

Production line automation allows companies to create efficiencies without sacrificing craftsmanship or quality. Using robotic package automation will reducing staff injury and provide the scope for expanding operations with accuracy and consistency.

Packaging robots are easily integrated into a workspace and perhaps the greatest benefit is that by using robotic packaging automation it reduces packaging time, it has the ability to lift larger items, automation means reduced labour costs and staff are free from time-consuming, repetitive and often dangerous manual tasks.  [Read more…] about Why investing in robotic packaging automation is right for your business

1 million visitors and counting

by

RoboticsAndAutomationNews.com has received 1 million unique visitors since we started counting just over two years ago. That’s about half a million visitors a year. 

Those are modest figures compared with big websites, but we’re very pleased because we started with no visitors at all a couple of years ago, and would like to thank our readers for helping us reach this milestone.

Our readership continues to grow at a very fast rate, and we hope more of you will decide to support us financially through paid subscriptions and advertising.

We’ve made it through another difficult financial year, and with your continuing support, look forward to struggling through 2019.

A lot of our readers appreciate our ongoing coverage of the global robotics and automation industry, as well as related sectors.

But we still need more of you to become paying subscribers and advertisers so we can continue to pay our journalists and staff, as well as perhaps growing next year.

We understand that if you stopped supporting us, we’d basically disappear.
