As baby boomers retire, German businesses turn to robots

BERLIN - At machine parts producer S&D Blech, the head of the grinding unit is retiring. With Germany's acute labour shortage leaving few candidates to take on the skilled but dirty and hazardous manual work, the company will replace him with a robot.

Finding a new head of the grinding unit was hard "not only because of all the experience he has but also because it's a back-breaking job that no one wants to do anymore", Schloeder told Reuters. With similar shifts affecting other developed economies, the impact of advanced automation technologies from robotics to AI will be widely felt, said Nela Richardson, chief economist at global payrolls and HR services provider ADP.

According to the International Federation of Robotics, around 26,000 units were installed in Germany last year - a figure surpassed only in 2018 before the COVID-19 pandemic slowed what had been an average of 4% annual growth. "It is great when you turn on the light in the morning and the parts are in the storage container and have been processed," CEO Matthias Rose told Reuters.
