Eureka, UK: Cognizant’s Chief Digital Officer, Manufacturing, Logistics, Energy & Utilities Says Robotics and Humans Will Dominate the Future of Manufacturing

“Manufacturers should consider a range of strategic factors to successfully induct robots into the business, including everything from data capture to workflow design,” says Prasad Satyavolu. “When integrated correctly, smaller mobile units can amplify people’s skills and strengths to increase workplace efficiency.” Excerpts:

“They [robots] are already being deployed across manufacturing organisations, from inserting shock absorbers or cutting meat on a traditional assembly line, to drones acting as the eyes of security officers patrolling a vast container yard.

The new breed of autonomous co-workers is freeing up humans to take on higher value work.

Although Artificial Intelligence (AI) used to be confined to narrow dimensions of tightly structured information, the data streams produced and processed by the smart factory are much more diverse.

As teams of mobile robots become integrated into a manufacturer’s network infrastructure, AI agents can draw insights from multiple sources to guide robots or humans. This allows them to distill and act upon insights from both humans and robots in real-time.

Most importantly, manufacturers need to understand that the field of robotics and machine learning is constantly advancing, meaning strategies have to be fluid and adaptable.”
