In the world of manufacturing, efficiency and productivity are key. But with a shortage of skilled labour looming over us, how can we keep up? The numbers tell the story: Europe is aging, and finding skilled workers is becoming increasingly difficult.
The European Commission reports that 40% of employers are struggling to fill positions with adequately skilled employees. Cedefop predicts a shortage of 500,000 skilled workers in EU manufacturing by 2030. As the working-age population shrinks, the pressure is on for industries that rely heavily on manual labor.
This shortage affects manufacturing-heavy countries like Germany, France, and Italy the most. So, what can we do about it?
One area where labor shortages are particularly felt is in manual feeding activities. By embracing automation, we can overcome these challenges.
Why automated feeding?
-
Boost efficiency and productivity.
-
Help alleviate labor shortages and reduce reliance on manual labor.
-
Streamline production processes, making operations smoother and more efficient.
Embrace innovation
Automation isn't just about technology. It's about a holistic approach that includes safety, workforce development, and strategic planning. By investing in automated feeding systems, material handling solutions, and robotic automation, we can enter a new era of productivity.
Empowering talent
Automation includes people too. Companies need to focus on training, apprenticeships, and engaging the workforce to attract and retain skilled talent.
Taking action
Our white paper lays out a roadmap for navigating these challenges. It's a call to action for embracing automation, particularly in the area of automated feeding systems.
