Multi-Function Robot Market by Type (Articulated Robot, SCARA Robot, Cartesian Robot, Delta Robot), by Application (Handling, Welding, Assembling & Disassembling, Others), Industry Verticals (Automotive, Electrical & Electronics, Plastic, Rubber, & Chemical, Food & Averages, Pharmaceutical, Others) and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, RoW) – Global Forecast to 2027
Multi-functional Robots are programmable multifunction operators for handling mechanical parts or workpieces that can automate several manufacturing applications. In recent times, a single industrial robot can perform multiple applications. The various applications include material handling, material removal, painting, sealing, foundry, inspection, cleanroom, die casting, thermal spray, and bonding.
Multi-functional robots can be configured with four axes, five axes, or six axes. Integrating a multipurpose robot with a tool changer allows for the automatic changing of the robot’s EOAT (End of arm tooling) for the ability to complete multiple machining processes without disruption The global Multi-functional Robot market size is expected to grow from USD XX million in 2022 to USD XX million by 2028, at a CAGR of XX%. The increasing adoption of cost-effective robots and the growing need to reduce human effort in production are the major factors fueling the growth of the multi-functional Robot

Drivers: The cost and effectiveness associated with the multi-functional robot will accelerate their adoption among industries
Industries outfit their existing robots with a system of low-cost software components to implement multitasking. This is customized and reprogrammed remotely to execute new movements according to the manufacturer's specifications. Industries prefer multi-functional robots for all the costs, and time associated and maintenance, saving labor, and resources
Adaptability makes multi-tasking robots very useful in the domain of high-mix, low-volume manufacturing. For instance, high-volume production, with its repetitive tasks, has seen an increased to reduce the need for manual labor. Multi-functional Robot offers solutions that include robotic picking, packing, palletizing, machine tending, and optimized automated intralogistics. This will boost scalability both upward and downward to handle swinging demands from the supply chain and reduce the total cost by reducing topics such as floor space required or intermediate stock. This will benefit the market of multi-functional market.
The anticipated shortage of skilled laborers in industries
Companies, especially in the manufacturing sector in USA, Germany, and China, are heading to growth since the past decade which in turn is expected to face workforce shortage within a few years. The shortage is mainly due to its prevalence in jobs with many repetitive and ergonomically unfavorable tasks. Moreover, high labor costs imply higher wage rates and employee benefits while benefiting workers which can reduce the company’s profit. For instance, the state of Michigan introduced 4.0 initiative to equip small manufacturers with knowledge and resources to adopt industry 4.0 technology. To compensate with the shortage of labor, the stakeholders are opting for new solutions to improve their productivity and substitute human labor. This will positively influence the market opportunities for multi-functional robots in industrial sector.
Challenges: The complexity in industrial processes increases the difficulty in developing multi-functional robot technologies
With the increased competition, businesses need to deploy robots that can multi-task to cut costs and help improve productivity. Robots need to identify people, objects, and environments while simultaneously interacting with them in an industrial setup. For example, a robot deployed at a warehouse to place objects needs to pick the object from a human employee, navigate his way to another section of the warehouse, and place the object in the rightful place. So, the adoption of the different applications will create interoperability and integration issues. Hence, robots need to be developed with advanced versions of artificial intelligence, NLU, machine learning technologies, and superior hardware so that they can carry out multiple tasks with ease. This can be challenging to customize based on all industrial needs and wants.
