The success of any business is determined by many factors. The state of the employees being one of the biggest factors. Studies today have proven that employee happiness and unhappiness have an equal effect on your business. 

In fact, one study by the Social Market Foundation found out that happy employees are 20% more productive than the unhappy ones. 

It’s therefore crucial that your employees are in the best state.

The introduction of injection molding robots has become a popular trend in most industries today. These machines have proven to be quite useful in improving productivity and efficiency.

Moreover, it also holds a significant impact on employees.

In this article, we’ll look into the impact of this robot on your employees.

• Takes over the repetitive injection molding task

The injection molding process, despite its importance, is a very repetitive and tedious process. Most injection molding operators complain of the physical demand and boring nature of the task.

As a result, they are not happy with the job.

The introduction of injection molding robots in the process in the industry frees them from this task. The robots are way faster, and can work for a long time without getting bored or tired. With merely a simple maintenance, it can work a ton.

Workers freed from these tasks, therefore, get a chance to upskill and work in more high value sectors of the industry. Moreover, they get an opportunity to use their skills and abilities for better tasks.

Consequently, they develop a greater sense of satisfaction in their job, and hence, improve their productivity.

• Improves the workplace safety

The biggest mistake an industry can make is overly focusing on the processes they do, and forgetting the people who do it. The security and safety of your employees is important for production.

Robots have been in industries for a long time. However, most of them were known to result in harm to employees and so, had to operate in safety cages.

Injection molding robots, on the other hand, are way better. These robotic arms are designed to operate safely and collaborate with other workers to improve productivity.

They come fitted with numerous sensors and an advanced visual system allowing it to detect movement ahead of it. As such, it easily becomes an employee’s best friend.

Its portability also allows it to operate in almost any area of the industry. In those toxic, dangerous and hazardous tasks, the robot can operate easily.

Your employees thus get to enjoy working in a safe, happy environment. 

• Minimize human error

Nobody enjoys making errors. However, man is to error. 

When it comes to injection molding, the process requires an equal consistent dosage of fluids in each product. Nevertheless, maintaining a consistent dosage tends to be a hassle for most workers.

They are, therefore, victims of blame whenever a few of the products turn out defective. This reduces their efficiency and morale to work.

Injection molding robots help out in this area by taking over the task. They can induce equal fluid doses accurately, ensuring that all products are of the best quality.

This frees workers of the blame of faulty products, and improves the workplace mood.

• Achieve more for less time

Perhaps the most significant impact of the injection molding robot is that it allows workers to accomplish more in a short time.

The robot is easy to program and deploy in the production line. It can also run more injection molds than the workers, and increases the volumes of products.

Furthermore, the robot can work 24/7 without supervision, even after the workers leave. This allows the industry to meet their demand orders without straining the workers.

Subsequently, the workers become happier, more productive and efficient.

Conclusion

The happier your workers are, the more productive they become. This in turn reflects in your profitability and competitiveness.

Injection molding robots have proven to have a positive impact on employees. They help ease their work, improve their safety and gives them more time to spend with family and friends.

As a result, they become happier and thus better employees. Therefore, if you want to improve your business, ensure that your employees are happy.
