Four-day exhibition on industrial robotics begins at GLADA Ground

These robots can not only improve the quality of work but also reduce the labour requirements.

In Ludhiana around 25-30 large and medium scale units have started industrial robotics in their units to bring about consistency in work, said Upkar Singh, general secretary of chamber of industrial and commercial undertakings (CICU), an organiser of the exhibition.

S B Singh, from CICU  said, “All those units who supply parts to big companies such as Hero Moto corp, Honda etc have introduced industrial robotics to reduce the errors.”

If industrial robotics is implemented in a unit that requires 200 workers, the requirement can be reduced to 20 skilled workers who can control the machines.

It is a one-time investment ranging between Rs 15 lakh and Rs 2 crore per machine. However, the returns are more than what one can get through manual labour. “The exhibition will also organise Punjab Africa Trade conference in which 10 Ambassadors of African countries will take part to explore trade opportunities in Punjab,” a member of the organising committee said.
