Robotic software platforms provide significant benefits across diverse manufacturing sectors. They ensure precise and consistent task execution, enhancing product quality and decreasing defects. These platforms also facilitate seamless integration with various manufacturing systems like PLCs, SCADA systems, and MES, fostering data-driven decision-making and streamlined production processes. Moreover, they often include advanced functionalities such as machine learning and AI, empowering robots to learn, adapt, and optimize their operations, resulting in heightened efficiency and productivity over time. The robotic software platform also plays a crucial role in enabling remote monitoring and maintenance capabilities, allowing manufacturers to monitor robot performance, diagnose issues, and perform software updates or calibrations remotely, minimizing downtime and reducing the need for on-site interventions. Manufacturers can enhance productivity, quality, flexibility, and overall operational excellence across various industries by leveraging robotic software platforms.
The Robotic platform market in Asia Pacific is estimated to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period.
In the perspective of robotic platforms, this robust growth in the overall robotics market in China, Japan, and South Korea is likely to catalyze an acceleration in the adoption of robotic platforms in the Asia Pacific. China accounts as the global leader in the robotics market, boasting the largest market share. In 2022, the annual installation of 290,258 units surpassed the previous record of 2021 by a growth of 5%. This remarkable achievement builds on the exceptional 57% surge seen in 2021 compared to 2020. The dynamic nature of the Chinese market has prompted both domestic and international robot suppliers to establish production plants within the country, continually expanding their capacities.
