Industries are increasingly adopting automation into their processes in order to lower costs, enhance efficiency, and improve quality. This is especially prevalent in the manufacturing sector, which has been an early and rapid adopter. A common misconception of adding automation into a workplace is that it will take jobs away from workers. This can lead to fears surrounding job security and distrust in robotic, artificial intelligence (AI), and other applications.

However, with the proper training and education, these workers can learn new skills and move up to more advanced roles performing more meaningful tasks. Likewise, automation creates a safer workspace by removing people from dull, dirty, and dangerous jobs. 

This whitepaper will highlight the workforce shortage facing the manufacturing industry, explore the ways that automation can create jobs, and dispel the myths surrounding robots in the workplace.
