Soldering is a task that requires a lot of concentration from workers and can also be boring or mind-numbing over time. This can lead to problems with the quality of the end product. People simply cannot concentrate and work precisely for 40 hours a week. A robot does not suffer from this and will always do the work in exactly the same way. Besides consistent quality, a robot also provides a productivity boost. Workers will have their hands free for other, more challenging tasks. Not only does this mean more work can be done, but employees will be happier doing the work they do.
