Bots.co.uk highlights the need for more automation in the UK

What is the key to a more efficient economy? Bots.co.uk the leading robot hire supplier, has pointed the UK in the direction of automation.

As the UK faces uncertain economic time with Brexit remaining unresolved, Bots.co.uk has pointed to the example of Germany as a European country with a strong economy which Britain could compete with if they harness the power of automation.

Bots.co.uk has highlighted research by the McKinsey Global Institute which found that "almost any business process" can have its performance improved by automation. Not only can labour costs be reduced significantly, but quality and reliability can also be significantly improved.

It is the need to meet productivity targets, says Bots.co.uk, which will eventually push policymakers to take the steps necessary to adopt more automation technologies. The company admits that there will be many societal challenges to overcome with regards to the workforce, but they believe that the benefits of a more automated industrial sector far outweighs the disadvantages.

Bots.co.uk's plea follows the findings of the UK's business, energy and industrial strategy (BEIS) committee, which concluded that the UK is lagging behind when it comes to robots and automation. The group of MPs said that Britain needed to avoid missing out on the fourth industrial revolution, which looks set to influence changes to the manufacturing and retail industries.

Advice on how to automate will be key to getting the UK on track, Bots.co.uk anticipates. The organisation has pointed to the BEIS committee's Automation and the Future of Work report, which highlighted the disbanding of the Manufacturing Advisory Service as leaving a large hole. Companies are now lacking the guidance they need to adopt automation technologies and continue to move forward with organisations based in other parts of Europe.

A company spokesperson for Bots.co.uk said: "We are right at the forefront of automation in the UK, being a go-to provider of cobots and robot hire. Now is the time for UK companies to ensure we are not left behind by other Western countries and are taking the steps necessary to safeguard our future. Organisations who wish to hire a robot can take advantage of our rental service, which can allow them to test the automation processes which could take their business to the next level."
