Robotic Automation in Rubber Processing: Improving Safety and Productivity

Abstract

This study examines the effect of robotic automation on productivity and safety in the rubber processing sector. The primary goals were to evaluate the advantages of robotic integration, do a cost-benefit analysis, and investigate the implications of the adoption policy. A thorough literature research, case study analysis, and industry expert interviews were all part of the process. Important discoveries show that robotic automation considerably improves workplace safety by lowering the risks associated with manual labor and chemical exposure. Continuous operation, precision production, and enhanced quality control contributed to productivity gains. The cost-benefit analysis shows significant long-term labor cost savings and improved productivity. The policy implications underscore the significance of labor training, legislative assistance, and technological integration in enabling extensive adoption. The revolutionary potential of robotic automation in rubber processing is highlighted by this study, which provides policymakers and industry stakeholders with ideas on how to use technology to promote competitiveness and sustainable growth.
