Like many other fields, the metalforming industry is currently seeing a serious deficit of staff, making automation an increasingly popular choice.

Automation can also improve conditions for the existing workforce, preventing occupational injuries caused by repetitive strain – which are common in metal working – and enabling a redeployment of staff to higher value jobs.

On 26 April 2023, HowToRobot aired a new webinar in collaboration with the Confederation of British Metalforming to provide an overview of how the metalforming industry is taking advantage of automation – and offer tangible tips for how to get started.
