The need for innovative automation solutions is growing at record rates.
According to the Robotic Industries Association (RIA), there has been a 35 per cent increase in the number of robots sold in the past nine months as compared to the same period in 2013. RIA estimates that there are currently 230,000 robots automating manufacturing and material handling process in facilities across America.
Motion Controls Robotics has paralleled this industry trend with strong growth in sales and hiring in 2014. To be able to keep up with customer demand, MCRI is adding a 4,000-square-foot addition to their facility. This addition will allow it to make room for new employees and continue developing and servicing robotic systems for customers.
