26 Past to present Effects of the Industrial Revolution Created a gap in Manufacturing: Human aspect is now missing

27 Collaborative Robots The Next Industrial Revolution ADDING THE HUMAN TOUCH Production from human to human We want the human knowledge, creativity and customer understanding to be embedded in the products we produce Change in manufacturing culture

28 The Next Industrial Revolution Change in Manufacturing Power back to the worker Blue-collar to Blue/White-collar production Humans back into production in collaboration with robots Humans do what humans do best, machines do what machines do best Build Love/Passion into the products on the factory floor

29 Changes in Production Collaborative Robots BEFORE Fixed installations Without human interaction Separation of space Repetitive work ROI long term NOW Relocatable Frequent interaction Shared space Frequent changes ROI short term
