Study: Increased investment in automation benefits CPG companies
Cobots are the fastest growing segment of industrial automation.
As automation increases in importance and usability in the manufacturing sector, collaborative robots (cobots), artificial intelligence and big data can be distinct drivers of investment and performance, according to a survey conducted by PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, Reston, Va.
The study, “Automation in CPG Companies,” finds that 44% of those surveyed are at least planning to increase investment in one key area, driving enhancements in automation—big data analytics capabilities—in the next 18-24 months.
