Q&A: Are robots used in other industries apart from Car Manufacturing?
Question by Foggy: Are robots used in other industries apart from Car Manufacturing?
Hi, I work for one of three large-car manufacturing plants in Australia. My plant has something like 300 robots (Kawa, Asea 90, ABB 6000, ABB 6400, ABB 6600) and although I’m a regular electrical apprentice, these robots (and heaps of AB PLC exposure) take up most of my day.
I enjoy the automation I am exposed to and now dislike any regular electrical installation such as powerpoints because it isn’t challenging or stimulating enough.
My Question: Are robots used widely outside of the car manufacturing industry? The car industry is unstable, and I am very keen to learn and take up extra study in robotics, so long as I am employable outside the car plant.
Is there such a job as ‘robot programmer’, and plenty of work available for such a position?
Cheers! And G’Day from Australia!!

Almost any kind of high volume manufacturing today uses robots or similar automation of some kind. Electronics manufacturing and food processing are especially rich in this type of automation. Even non-automated production often needs some automation in packaging.
