New data from global automation market platform HowToRobot reveals the most common business reasons for automating last year. Some 80% of all projects measured aimed to free employees from manual tasks and move them to more value-adding activities, HowToRobot finds. The data confirms that businesses are seeing automation and robots as a supplement to – and not a replacement for – human labour. The second biggest motivation for automating in 2023 was to increase productivity, with 70.9% of projects having this goal, while 36.2% of projects sought to improve product quality and uniformity.
