Where we are now

Real needs. Slow progress.

Low unemployment. High demand.

Bobby is pushing carts. Industry 4.0 on the doorstep. Yet...

Only 10% of companies that could benefit from robots have installed them.

Why?

The problem with robotics has been the robots

Historically, robots have been defined by their limitations: Complex, Inflexible, and Expensive.

Mobile robots are often challenged by real world conditions. They require sterile, controlled environments, and infrastructure additions.

Experts are needed for setup including mapping, route planning, and fleet management.

Accessibility is the key to unlocking robotics for SMEs.

What’s next in manufacturing: Industry 4.0 Robotics, automation, and IOT is the fourth Industrial Revolution

Flipping the skills gap on its head Design philosophy: Bobby First!

Bobby or Betty is the great worker who’s been at the company for 15 years and knows the job better than anyone.

The Bobby First philosophy is to design robots that are technologically accessible to the current workforce.

They can wield robotics technology with pride if tools are easy to master.

We suggest robotics companies should aim to empower the workforce, not replace them.

A workforce empowered with robots strengthens both the workforce & the robots

Technology as a progressive force:!!“Let us not destroy these wonderful machines that produce efficiently and cheaply. Let us control them. Let us profit by their efficiency and cheapness. Let us run them by ourselves.” !!!

Benefits beyond measurable ROI

Workforce:Workers using great tools are more engaged in work they are proud of.They go home daily with more energy for their families & better quality of life. They have longer, more productive careers.

Companies:CROs who give workers great tools more easily attract and retain talent. They demonstrate a willingness to invest in their teammates. They get the benefits of automation and the loyalty of an empowered workforce.

Robotics companies should design for the workforce. CROs should buy products designed for the workforce.

It’s the workforce, stupid. Design for them or fail J
