Covid-19: Impetus or Brake for Automation?

Robotics and automation reacted quickly to the pandemic and created solutions to deal with this crisis in record time. This ranged from the production of respiratory masks to laboratory automation and the use of cobots in production and all the way to “Drive Through for Corona Tests” and disinfection robots in hospitals.

But what long-term effects does the corona pandemic have on robotics and automation? Will supply chains have to be reconsidered for more resilience? Will production become more local – and more flexible – again? Is production depth tending to increase? Do more logistics robots ensure crisis-proof supply of component supplier parts? Is digitalization finally making a breakthrough in factories now?
