IFR statistics show that Germany has consistently been a global top 5 robotics market for many years. They also provide distribution by industry. But what it does not show is who exactly is installing these robots and what distinguishes a robot user from a non-user. Data collected from nearly 16,000 plants by the Institute for Employment Research (IAB) of the Federal Employment Agency helps us to learn more about robot users in Germany.

From Farm Life to Factory Floors - I grew up on a working farm with three older brothers, a Mohawk Iroquois mother who taught me fierceness and self-belief, and a father who managed a paper plant by day and was a part-time farmer. Our house was filled with elbow grease, high expectations, and mutual respect.
