Automotive Industry Hits Global Record of One Million Robot Deployments
The International Federation of Robotics (IFR) announced that the automotive industry had reached a new record of one million robot deployments in factories worldwide. This accounts for approximately one-third of all robots installed across all sectors.
The IFR attributes this growth to the industry’s ambitious goals for adopting and producing electric vehicles. Robotic automation is helping car manufacturers manage the significant changes required to transition from traditional manufacturing methods and technologies.
The IFR highlighted other key trends, including growing investment in collaborative robots for final assembly and finishing applications.
While Tier 2 automotive parts suppliers have been slower to automate their processes fully, the IFR expects this to change as robots become smaller, more adaptable, easier to program, and less expensive.
As the automotive industry continues to grow and adopt robotics, there will also be a significant impact on the logistics industry. Robotics is increasingly important in logistics and shipping by improving efficiency and safety by automating repetitive and physically demanding tasks.

機器人出貨量超過一百萬台 打破汽車工業全球紀錄
國際機器人聯合會（IFR）宣布，汽車工業在全球工廠出貨量超過一百萬台機器人，創下了新紀錄，佔所有行業機器人總數的約三分之一。汽車行業對採用和生產電動汽車的發展有相當大的信心，因此IFR預計數量會不斷增長。自動化機器人協助管理生產，從傳統製造方法和技術過渡到現代化製造。
IFR強調，在最終裝配和精益加工應用中，對協作型機器人的投資正在日益增長。雖然次層汽車零部件供應商在完全自動化流程方面比較慢，但隨著機器人變得更小、更靈活、更易控制、成本更低，IFR預計這種情況將會改變。
隨著汽車工業持續增長並採用更多機器人技術，物流行業也將受到重大影響。機器人在物流和運輸中扮演著越來越重要角色，利用自動化機器人，擔任重複性和體力要求高的任務，從而提高效率和安全性。將來，技術不斷進步，機器人將能夠處理更多的任務，包括協作和自主運作，進一步提高生產力和安全性。
