The robots are ready. Are you?

“The robots are ready. Are you?” report, based on the findings of Deloitte’s 3rd Annual Global Robotics survey, shows that while most organizations have started their robotics journey and believe this digital workforce can deliver significant value, they are struggling to scale. Only 3% of surveyed organizations have scaled robotics to over 50 robots.

Over the past year, there has been intensifying interest in robotics and in the application of cognitive and artificial intelligence technologies, both in the media and on the conference circuit. RPA is now a proven technology and early movers in shared services and other administrative organizations are already achieving significant benefits.

This year’s Deloitte RPA survey, which attracted well over 400 responses from around the world, shows that awareness of robotics remains high. Even more organizations have investigated the RPA opportunity and/or built a proof of concept. They are convinced robotics will deliver a significant productivity increase and that it is applicable for a significant portion of their activities.
