Automated production robots to replace repeat work will make the manufacturing industry better

Robot technology is increasingly mature, highly automated largely replaced repeated labor era is not far away from us, but includes "New York Times" and other media worry that the robot will cause a large number of unemployed people, in this regard, MIT origin, manufacturing industry chain experienced, dedicated to the revival of the manufacturing sector, current automation production robot manufacturer rethink robotics products marketing Jim Loudon (Jim Lawton) have different opinions.The manufacturing share of American economic ratio of only 12%, but the manufacturing sector by U. S. President Barack Obama considerable attention. The reason is that past experience shows that manufacturing multiplier effect: for every $1 of manufacturing output, of $1.33 benefit other sectors for the economy as a whole, and in terms of employment, each manufacturing jobs, drive 1.5 to 3 related work, this is Mr Obama's efforts to promote manufacturing industry circumfluence, the main reason.
But put forward a "do not want to face the truth Jim Loudon: according to Forbes, the United States currently has 20 million manufacturing jobs to find people to do, and according to Deloitte & Touche (Deloitte) estimates, to 2025 gap will expand to 200 million, the reason is very simple, the next generation of the United States just don't want these jobs.
Is not only the traditional labor - intensive manufacturing industry, even the electronic industry is, Jim Loudon pointed out electronic manufacturers labor three shifts, with a microscope examination of the tiny chip, which is good at machine work, not human should do the work, he questioned the Americans do not want to do this kind of work, the more don't want children and grandchildren are still doing this kind of work. Of course, maybe he asked the wrong person, if asked Taiwanese, much is people rob to do. However, whether or not to do, at present, the model of the manufacturing industry can not be sustained indefinitely.
Human is responsible for creating value and reducing cost.
The world's third largest electronics manufacturing services (EMS) Jabil Circuit (Jabil) that, in the manufacturing industry by low-cost labor, the production chain mode will be distributed to all over the world to change, the manufacturing industry to enhance the added value, the production center must be closer to the design and innovation center, must also be more close to the market, manufacturing and design center in the same way, the design and manufacturing process integration can be more accurate, the design center must be close to the market, can immediately reflect the needs of the market, therefore, the factory of the future will no longer be a large scale production, boring, global consistent product, but smaller, closer to the consumer, the personnel operating area.
United States is to go in this direction forward, such as Mr. Obama's push for national manufacturing innovation network (national network for manufacturing innovation, NNMI), set up many manufacturing innovation center in the United States, such as in Chicago and the University of Illinois joint digital manufacturing and innovation design and Research Institute (DMDII digital manufacturing and Design Innovation Institute), the federal government funded $70 million, private investors $2 billion, plans to the American manufacturing industry into the digital era.
To perform such a manufacturing change, the manufacturing center from low wage countries pull back to the United States, and to and developing countries than low wages, the only way is to enhance the automation, let the machine to do the workers to do things, Jim lowton to Americans facing reality: repetitive work will only make numb humans, it is time to eliminate mechanical work, rather than also protect the past in the production chain have hundreds of this kind of work, was not at all suitable for barely human training to refine the work.
