Dear Automation Enthusiast,
As rising labour costs and limited capacity affect SMEs' growth, let’s work together to reduce entry barriers to the automation journey. At the recent Canadian Automation Summit, Mary Ann Wenzler, Vice President at BDC, shared practical strategies for sourcing funding for major automation projects. As we navigate this landscape together, aiming to unlock productivity gains for Canadian SMEs, let’s consider the roadblocks to the industrial automation journey.
The initial investment required for robotic equipment can be significant for SMEs. This encompasses not only the cost of the robots themselves, but also the associated infrastructure needed to integrate them into existing systems. Moreover, many SMEs may lack the necessary resources for the successful selection, installation, and operation of robots, which may require them to invest in training or hire skilled personnel.
We can help entrepreneurs find and finance the right automation solution for their business.
