Technological Advances Expand Access to Robotics for Companies of All Sizes

The technological revolution, led by innovations in Artificial Intelligence and machine learning, is transforming industrial automation and making robotics more accessible to a wide range of companies in Brazil. Rodrigo Bueno, director of ABB’s Robotics division in Brazil, emphasizes how these technologies are helping to overcome obstacles to robotics adoption, promoting efficiency and innovation in business.

Challenges and Opportunities in Adopting Digital Technologies

A survey conducted by the National Confederation of Industry (CNI) revealed that while 86% of large Brazilian companies had adopted some form of digital technology by 2021, only 64% of medium-sized and 42% of small companies had done the same. The high implementation cost is cited as the main barrier for 66% of these companies, followed by the lack of professional qualification, identified by 37% of them as a significant external barrier.

In the specific context of robotics, studies from the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) indicate that programming and integration account for 50% to 70% of the total implementation cost, adding to the challenge of expenses for reprogramming in response to changes in production.

Innovations That Facilitate Robotics Implementation

The manufacturing industry and logistics, pressured by the demand for customized production and the growth of e-commerce, find in robotics a solution for their needs for flexibility and efficiency. The evolution of software and controllers, many of which now incorporate AI, has significantly simplified the adoption of robotic automation.

The machine vision combined with Artificial Intelligence is enabling the complete automation of complex tasks, such as the selection and placement of various items, without the need for human supervision. This allows companies to increase their service capacity without raising their workforce.

Furthermore, the use of simulation software in virtual environments, known as digital twins, offers a way to optimize operations without interrupting production, reducing costs and implementation time.

The Rise of Collaborative Robots (Cobots)

Collaborative robots (cobots) are democratizing access to automation, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises that see cost and lack of technical knowledge as their main barriers. Designed to operate alongside humans safely, these smaller and more affordable robots do not require programming knowledge, making them a viable option for smaller businesses. The ability of cobots to learn and adapt through AI is further facilitating their integration into various work environments.

Conclusion: An Era of Inclusive Innovation

The current landscape of robotics in Brazil indicates an era of inclusive technological innovation, where companies of different sizes can explore the benefits of automation. With the continuous evolution of digital technologies and the reduction of cost and knowledge barriers, the trend is that more businesses become resilient, flexible, and efficient. The journey toward intelligent automation is just beginning, promising to transform the Brazilian industrial landscape in a profound and lasting way.

Conclusion: An Era of Inclusive Innovation

While in Brazil a 10-story building takes 2 years to complete, in China a company stacks pre-fabricated modules and raises the entire building in just 28 hours and 45 minutes.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows in Argentine Patagonia the exact point where a colossal glacier, a turquoise-blue lake, and a greenish arm of water meet, creating one of the rarest and most impressive landscapes in the region.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

Ethiopia has banned gasoline and diesel cars, placed over a hundred silent electric buses on the streets of Addis Ababa, and now aims for half a million electric vehicles by 2030, all powered by Africa’s largest dam and a courage that few countries have shown.

A refrigerator in the middle of the street in Poland is feeding those who are hungry and teaching children to share: the project already has 1,600 refrigerators spread across the country, and people leave soup, bread, and beets for strangers to take for free.

Giant turbines on the seabed of Scotland have been generating clean energy for nearly a decade without interruption, and now the big promise is that tidal power could solve the biggest problem of solar and wind energy: the unpredictability that no one has been able to overcome until today.

More than 3,900 Brazilian municipalities are unable to pay their own bills, and yet two city halls located just 700 meters apart continue to operate separately, each with a full structure.

The decision to plant food 10,000 years ago came at a high cost for the human body, and now Harvard has proven that this choice altered hundreds of genes and left marks that still cause modern diseases.
