HOW HAS THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC AFFECTED THE FIELD OF INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION?

HOW HAS THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC AFFECTED THE FIELD OF INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION?

Over the last decade, we are moving more and more towards the 4th industrial revolution (industry 4.0).

More and more tasks, which previously did not have the possibility of remote and automated integration, can now be performed without the need for human intervention, having significantly contributed to the qualitative and quantitative increase of production.

As most industrial organizations and manufacturing companies struggle with the COVID-19 pandemic, the concept of automation and smart factory is more relevant than ever. One of the many effects of a viral crisis is a reassessment of how we work and whether physical presence is necessary for an activity.

Although the spread of the virus has been disastrous for all sectors, it has been instrumental in boosting investment in industrial automation. The need for immediate adaptation to the ever-changing conditions of the business environment has become imperative. This would not be possible without flexible automated production systems.

BUT TO WHAT EXTENT DOES THE COVID - 19 AFFECT THE INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION SECTOR?

In almost every industrial sector, such as the beverage and food industry, warehouses / logistics, automotive industry, etc., the industries that have utilized the industrial automation, show significant growth compared to the corresponding "traditional" industries, where there is a need for a human factor or no corresponding automation systems have been developed. Some of the most important benefits that these industries enjoy and have been further strengthened since the advent of COVID - 19 are:

EASIER AND SMOOTHER OPERATION

Machines, such as the SEW-Eurodrive frequency inverter, have made workplaces safer, more efficient and more flexible, and can perform repetitive tasks with great precision and without interruption. Thus, each process is automated and more efficient, while there is no delay in completing projects and orders.

REDUCED OPERATING COSTS

Compared to traditional industries, the fields of industrial automation have significantly reduced operating costs. Thanks to the application of units, such as SEW SERVO motors in combination with SEW inverters or SEW mechatronic units, which handle dynamic applications with high precision and automation with optimized use of time and resources, they manage to maintain energy consumption levels in particularly low levels.

FLEXIBILITY AND ADAPTABILITY OF EACH PROCEDURE

In the event of a pandemic or similar catastrophic event, automated processes by machines, such as a SEW inverter, have performed better than technologies that require continuous human intervention. Automation has evolved to a level where it can expand and adapt each activity accordingly, thereby optimizing performance and achieving the required result of each business.

Along with the public health crisis and the disease epidemic, the virus may well cause an even greater rise in automation and ongoing changes in an already rapidly evolving labor market. Therefore, if you are active in one of the fields of industrial automation, choose to enhance the efficiency and functionality of your business today with suitable machines such as electric motors and speed controllers of SEW-Eurodrive from the company CHR.BOZNOS & SON SA.
