Key Highlights
Industrial automation was not in a great place before COVID-19 struck, having been slowed by flat capital expenditure and declining industrial production. The virus has since closed factories, with workers across the world sent home. It has exposed the fact that, despite a lot of hype over the years, advanced factory automation has not been substituted for human workers at scale.
The virus may serve to accelerate investment in factory automation when the global economy eventually rebounds, but that will take a while.
The fallout from COVID-19 will focus organizations on the need to automate faster in the medium term, not least to help bridge the productivity gap. Projects like Industrie 4.0 will have an important role to play. It is a pressing task, made all the more urgent by COVID-19. Had business moved with more alacrity and determination when it had the opportunity, it would be in a better position today. Those that missed the boat will have the motivation to prepare themselves better for future crises.
