IFR: Average Robot Density in the Manufacturing Industry is Higher Than Ever
FRANKFURT—Updated statistics issued by the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) show that the average robot density in the manufacturing industry reached a new global record of 113 units per 10,000 employees in 2019.
“Robot density is the number of operational industrial robots relative to the number of workers,” says Milton Guerry, president of the IFR. “This level measurement allows comparisons of countries with different economic sizes in the dynamic automation race over time.”
