“Robotics is where PCs were
in the 70’s!” “Robotics is where consumer
electronics was in the 70’s!”
“We’ll make piles of money… But
how?”
- Service Robots People
“We’re making good money selling service robots (and a lot of things around them).
Here’s how.”
- Service Robots People
“Hey, we’re still a big part of
robotics.”
“How can we get a piece of
that new pie?”
- Industrial Robots People

MARKET POTENTIALINDUSTRIAL
ROBOTICS vs
– Double digit until 2015 (Source: IFR)
– Well documented market
– 90% of manufacturing companies still don’t use robots (Source: the Manufacturing Institute)
– Market to be defined
– 40% of manufacturing companies refuse work because of skilled workers shortage in 2010.
– In 2006, 50,000 experienced welders retired while 25,000 newly trained entered the profession.

WHO WILL SELL TO THE 90% ?INDUSTRIAL
ROBOTICS vs
For:– Well developed sales channel,
integration partners and customer base
– Complete product line (scale, processes)
– MoneyAgainst:– Maintenance of legacy accounts
and technology– Supporting the xx% growth– Product unfit to market
(integration cost and complexity, overkill specifications)
For:– No legacy to support, free to
innovate– Can leverage state-of-the art in
robotics, leverage low cost components
– New standards
Against:– Making robots is not easy– Sales channel to build– Limited to human scale
