Who is Using Robots in Germany?

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.
