1 The Robotics Market Has Arrived! What Challenges and Opportunities Exist? Perspectives from Asia, the US and Europe Moderator Asian Perspective International Perspective US Perspective Eugene Demaitre Georg Stieler Anthony Quinn Doug Olson Senior Editor Robotics Business Review Managing Director, Asia STM Stieler Senior Standards Advisor Office of Standards and Investment Policy President/Founder Harmonic Drive LLC

2 The Robotics Market Has Arrived! What Challenges and Opportunities Exist? Percepectives from Asia, The U.S., and Europe Doug Olson Harmonic Drive LLC President / CEO

3 Robotics & Automation in North America North American Robotics Market Sets New First Quarter Shipment Record in 2018 Strongest First Quarter on Record with $507 Million in Shipments Source: Robotic Industries Association Worldwide forecast of warehousing and logistics robot unit shipments will increase to 620,000 units annually by 2021.

4 What s Driving Demand for Robots and Automation Market Needs And Advancements in Robot Technology Has Driven Robot Demand Large Demand For Use Of Robots Coming From Small And Medium Enterprises Growth in the adoption rate for the use of robotics is driven by: There exists a greater need to incorporate automation to increase productivity to remain competitive Technical advanced capabilities of robots offers more utility The ability to deploy robots in a wider range of applications There is an increased adoption rate in the use of robots by Small and Medium Enterprises SMEs make up 99% of US businesses (Source US Censes Bureau)

5 What s Driving Demand for Robots and Automation Booming Economy Reshoring Of Manufacturing Labor Shortages Are Driving The Need For Automation United States Manufacturing Production US manufacturing output rose 3.1 percent year-on-year in August 2018, following a 2.6 percent advance in July. It was the sharpest increase in manufacturing production since June 2012.

6 Opportunities for Robotics and Automation Opportunities for Robot and Automation End Users Opportunities for Robot Manufacturers & System Integrators End Users of Robots and Automation Implementation of flexible automation Increased productivity Quick RO Delegate mundane / time consuming tasks to robots / automation Promote the people within your organization Tax Incentives (100% Bonus Depreciation though 2022) Robot Manufacturers & System Integrators Capitalize on the multitude of opportunities from End Users Innovative flexible automation solutions Increased your capabilities and capacity to respond to market demands Provide exceptional support and service

7 Automation is the Great Equalizer Employee Acceptance of Automation General Comments Automation is the Great Equalizer The cost to run a robotic work cell is the same in the US as it is anywhere else in the world! Flexibility of cobots allow ROI Lost business opportunity due to unavailable labor force undermines the growth of your business AUTOMATE! Employee Acceptance of Automation Despite what is read in the press- Acceptance of robots in the work force is generally positive Involve your employees Change is bad when it happens to you Change is good when you make it happen Promote employees in your company
