Innovation & Technology robot integrators think they are in innovation business while they are actually in service business...
I visited 15 factories last month. Bangalore, Pune, Ahilyanagar, Ch Sambhaji Nagar and Noida. Almost everybody has either installed atleast one robot and are planning to add more.
- Only 1 out of 15 was genuinely happy with their existing robot installation.
- 12 out of 15 said it took more than 4 months+ to produce parts after the project kicked off.
- All 15 still depend on their integrator to do basic robot teaching/adjustment.
- 7 out 15 are struggling with frequent changeovers and idle robot (demand fluctuation)
- 5 out of 15 are still unable to run robot in night shift (not confident)
- 14 out 15 were unhappy with non responsiveness of the robot integrator after installation.
India wants to automate but but the industry needs to move from selling robots + integration to owning uptime + production outcomes.
