There are now almost 10,000 robots in use on Danish production floors, which places Denmark seventh in the world in the number of industrial robots per employee. This is shown by figures from IFR, the International Federation of Robotics, which monitors and analyzes developments in robotics globally. Dansk Metal writes in a press release.
- It is really good to see that companies have gotten into gear after some bad years on the robotics front. In Denmark, we have sky-high productivity, and if we are to maintain it, it is crucial that companies invest in robots and new technology that can help employees on the floor, says Emil Drevsfeldt Nielsen, head of business policy at Dansk Metal.
A new analysis from Dansk Metal shows that Denmark even ranks fifth when robots in the automotive industry are excluded, as this sector is traditionally highly automated and plays a minor role in Denmark.
However, the geopolitical situation places new demands on Danish companies, and the need to invest in new technology is growing in line with the challenges.
- At a time when companies are short of labor, and we can see that it is only a challenge that will become greater in the coming years, it is crucial that we continue to invest in new technology. Here we still need to see SMEs get involved, says Emil Drevsfeldt Nielsen.
To support smaller companies in this transition, the Danish Business Development Agency has allocated 50 million DKK, which will make it easier for small and medium-sized companies to borrow and test robots.
