The use of robots in industry and service sectors should move a market that will reach US$ 43.32 billion by 2027, according to estimates from Statista, a German market research and data platform company. In 2023 alone, investments in robotic solutions are expected to reach US$34 billion. United States, China, Germany and South Korea are the countries that will make the biggest investments in the sector.
Worldwide, the sectors most benefited from the use of robots will be industry, more specifically in the automotive, electrical and electronic, metallurgical, chemical and food sectors. In the service sector, highlight for use in commercial activities and for customer service. According to Statista, Brazil appears in 18th position among the countries that will have the highest revenues in the robotics market. By 2027, these revenues are expected to reach US$390 million.
Second a survey carried out by IBM with Brazilian business leaders, 78% of them said they will invest in technology this year, with automation and solutions in Artificial Intelligence, which include robots, among the most likely destinations for investments. In this scenario, robotics engineer Diego Fiscina Almeida Santos explains that when it comes to processes that require competitiveness, production speed, error minimization, process quality and safety, robots or robotic cells gain prominence.
“They are being widely implemented in production lines for equipment assembly, material handling, painting and coating, inspection and quality, operating in hazardous environments such as ovens and mold or press machines, logistics and storage, in addition to collaborative production lines where robots share the same work environment with humans, for example”, he comments.
With 10 years of experience in the areas of Industrial Automation and Information Technology, Fiscina points out that to further enhance the efficiency of industrial automation, today there are technologies that simulate factory environments available on the market and that manage to create digital scenarios similar to the real ones, allowing the more efficient use of robotic cells. “These technologies bring very significant advantages, as they allow the monitoring of each production stage in a timely manner, resulting in a functionally sustainable, controlled and resource-saving production line”, he points out.
Robots: expert details benefits of using simulation tools in the industrial environment
The use of software or technologies for simulating environments to enable the assertive use of automation and use in production plants guarantees several advantages, points out robotics engineer Diego Fiscina. According to him, one of these advantages is the design and validation of systems, as these technologies make it possible to test the adoption of robotic systems before physical implementation.
“It is possible to model robots, their physical characteristics and the work environment, simulating the behavior and interactions of these robots with objects and elements of the environment. In this way, it is possible to identify design problems, optimize motion trajectories and ensure that the robotic system meets specific requirements”, he details.
Another benefit pointed out by the professional is cost reduction, because by simulating the behavior of a robot before physical construction, it is possible to identify project errors and avoid unnecessary expenses with rework or modifications. In this regard, an additional advantage is the fact that simulation can be used to optimize processes and find more efficient and economical solutions.
In Fiscina’s evaluation, shorter development time, performance optimization, training and programming and safety analysis are other benefits of using environment simulators for robot design. In the case of development time, he points out that “by simulating the behavior of the robot and the system in different scenarios, it is possible to identify and correct problems more quickly and efficiently. This results in a reduction in the time required for the development and implementation of the complete robotic system.”
Regarding training, robotic simulation becomes an important tool for training robot operators and programmers. “Operators can practice operating the robot in a safe virtual environment, learning the correct procedures and gaining confidence before handling the real robot. Programmers can also develop and debug robotic control programs in the simulation, reducing the time and risk associated with direct programming in a physical environment”, he concludes.
