Story available on CNHIndustrial.com
London, November 4, 2020
Robots, once the staple of science fiction films
and futuristic novels, are today used in a variety of settings
ranging from the workplace to the home. Unsurprisingly, most of
them look nothing like the robots depicted in popular culture from
the past but the space-age technology they use is truly remarkable.
This latest installment in CNH Industrial’s Top Stories series
gives an insight into their deployment in the world of
manufacturing. The robot revolution is here and is helping to
change the face of manufacturing. Read more on how they are helping

“Think about all the movements you make when
you’re gathering together a list of items from the shelves in a
warehouse,” says Peter Ommeslag, Head of Industry 4.0 at CNH
Industrial N.V. (NYSE: CNHI / MI: CNHI), “You reach, you bend, you
stretch. If something is just out of reach, you stretch a little
bit further.” This is just one example of where a robot, or “cobot”
(from the words “collaborative” and “robot”) can make a real
difference in the world of manufacturing. By assisting with these
type of repetitive, heavy lifting tasks, the employees’ working
environment and their overall physical wellbeing are improved.
The article gives a brief overview of the
evolution of manufacturing spanning its development from
mechanization through water and steam power, to the use of
electricity in mass production to the present day and the concept
of Industry 4.0 – the digitalization of manufacturing.
We see how CNH Industrial has embraced this new
technology, which not only improves the working environment of the
Company’s employees, but brings with it a whole host of other
benefits, creating efficiencies and introducing new skills. The
article is illustrated with practical examples from the world of
CNH Industrial referencing several manufacturing facilities and
parts depots where the cobots are put through their paces every day
of the working week.
