Case: Working Together with Robots at Dynamic Group

Dynamic Group is a manufacturer specializing in providing molded injection parts for the medical, electronics, and technology industries. Before Dynamic Group started using robots, it required four employees to work an injection press to make catheter tubes. One employee inserted the catheter tubes into a frame while another set the frame on the mold, inserted it into the injection press, and then removed it. A third employee removed the finished tubes from the frame and cut away any excess plastic that remained. The fourth employee inspected the finished catheter tube. Now, using the robot the entire process takes less than 45 seconds. One employee is needed to examine the finished catheters and insert the tubes into frames. The employee and the robot work collaboratively. The robot is easy to move and reprogram and is a safe working companion (if it hits someone it stops working without causing injury). The robot paid for itself within two months by increasing the efficiency of the injection press and eliminating scrap. Productivity actually decreased at first when the robot was installed because employees enjoyed watching it work. The chief executive of Dynamic Group believes that manufacturing systems in the future will work alone through taking raw materials and transforming them into products. He believes such a system will create more (not less) jobs and allow the company’s machine operators to use their knowledge to help program the robots to do the work more efficiently and effectively rather than personally perform the work. As a result, the operators can put more effort into coming up with more creative and innovative ways to make products. Dynamic Group is not alone in its efforts to have employees and robots work together. Siemens is designing a data glove that allows an employee to control and direct a robot arm. The glove captures and transforms the movements of human hands into actions performed by the robot hand, matching the strength and accuracy of robots with human decision making power. At General Motors’s Lake Orion automobile manufacturing plant, a robot lifts tires and stacks them on a cart.
Do you think that robots will ultimately replace humans in many jobs? Why or why not? What skills will employees need to be trained in to work alongside robots?
