A New Era for Robotics in Small Businesses

Robotics offers small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) a powerful tool to enhance efficiency, productivity, and growth. By automating repetitive or labor-intensive tasks, robotics helps reduce costs and minimizes errors, allowing businesses to allocate resources more strategically. Robotics also enables SMBs to compete more effectively, not just by increasing throughput but by delivering consistent, high-quality results that elevate customer satisfaction. Adopting robotics isn’t just about staying competitive today; it positions SMBs to meet the challenges of tomorrow with agility and innovation.

How Robotics Can Help You Build Your Workforce of the Future

Robotic arms on manufacturing assembly line - SOLIDWORKS

The global manufacturing industry has been plagued by shortages of skilled talent caused by a number of factors. The impact of this shortage is costly. In the U.S. alone, the skills gap is costing the economy $13 billion a month. For SMBs, the problem is magnified, especially when these smaller businesses are located in rural areas with already shallow labor pools. Read this white paper to learn how adding robotics to your production can help you improve efficiencies and build your workforce of the future.

Industrial Robot Programming Simplified

3D model of robot part - SOLIDWORKS

Today, almost every robot comes with its proprietary robot programming language. This has been a long-standing issue in industrial robotics that has been exacerbated by the long delivery times for new robots. Companies are forced to mix and match brands based on availability. This results in manufacturing teams having to learn a new language every time they utilize a new robot brand within their facility. Watch this on-demand webinar to learn how Robot Programmer, a role in the 3DEXPERIENCE Works portfolio, simplifies the process by providing programmers with a comprehensive set of capabilities to help layout and program robotic systems more safely and efficiently.
