Mexico has a significant opportunity to increase its adoption of automation in its industries, especially in the reshoring of supply chains, according to Jeff Burnstein, President of the Association for Advancing Automation (A3). The most recent Joseph F. Engelberger Robotics Awards 2023 highlighted the importance of regional supply chains due to the disruption of global supply chains caused by the Covid pandemic, Russia’s war in Ukraine, and the trade conflict between the United States and China. Burnstein believes that Mexico should invest in these technological solutions, as China did in its time, before becoming the manufacturing powerhouse it is today. He also noted that there is still a historical gap in the adoption of automation in production chains in Mexico, and that skilled labor is needed to implement and maintain these solutions.
