Many companies choose to invest in robots and automation in order to improve production quality, working environment and make up for worker shortage.It is a myth that companies are mainly buying robots in order to replace workers.Robotic consultants from Gain & Co have assessed the automation potential of more than 100 Danish companies. Only very rarely have they seen cases where buying a robot results in a layoff of employees.Yet, the prejudice about robots, that we get from the media, is that their main job is to replace human workers. In reality, that is not true for most companies.
