ROBOTIZATION OF PRODUCTION PROCESSES: CHALLENGES AND PROSPECTS

Goncharov A., Lahtin A.

Robotization of production processes is one of the most relevant topics for the study of ways to increase the efficiency of industrial production. However, despite the active development of robotics processes, there are a lot of challenges and problems in this area that create obstacles. The article examines the essence of robotization of production processes, its advantages for enterprises, identifies problems and challenges in the field of robotics at Russian enterprises, suggests ways to solve the identified problems, and also considers possible prospects for robotization in Russia. The author comes to the conclusion that Russian enterprises have favorable prospects in the development of robotization processes, however, when solving some problems. Among the problems identified were the following: low wages for workers, as a result of which robotization in most sectors of the Russian economy is ineffective; the resistance of workers due to the possible loss of jobs as a result of the reduction of unskilled workers, increased demands on workers, Russia’s technological dependence on imported robotic equipment, the need for large investments in equipment and process tuning. Solving the identified problems through the proposed directions, taking into account the efforts of the state, business and the educational sector, can significantly accelerate the process of robotization in Russia and bring long-term economic and social benefits.
