Turkey's future lies in automation The necessity of working remotely during the pandemic period and the fact that the factories stopped their production for a certain period of time revealed the importance of dark factories and robotic automation. In this process, price increases in China and the production stoppage of giants in India and Europe caused the supply chain to shift to Turkey. Hakan Aydoğdu, General Manager of Tezmaksan, stated that Turkey should invest in automation in order to speed up the production and respond to the demands easily, and underlined that the way to turn the crisis into an opportunity is through automation with robots. In all production processes of the industry, tools such as digitalization and robotic automation have become a necessity rather than a choice. Developed countries have made significant investments in the field of robotic automation and accelerated their efforts to consolidate their competitive position globally. "There are 113 robots for every 10 thousand employees in the field of machining in the world" Comparing Turkey with the worldwide use of robots in the field of machining, Tezmaksan General Manager Hakan Aydoğdu said, "When we look at the world average in the field of machining, there are 113 robots for every 10 thousand employees. In our country, this rate is only 30. The usage rate in Turkey is unfortunately below the world average today... This shows that there is an opportunity to increase penetration. The pandemic process made us realize this. The remote working model and the fact that the factories were closed for a while showed how important robot automation is " said. The shift of many projects to Turkey increased our exports by 35 percent. Underlining that Turkey gained a significant advantage in the machining, automotive and defense industries during the pandemic period, Aydoğdu said, "As a result of the interruption of production in India and Europe, many projects have shifted to Turkey. In the manufacturing industry, we have grown by 20 percent as a sector, and an increase of 35 percent in exports. The advantages created by these developments may turn into a disadvantage in the coming years. Because the world is rapidly moving to automated production. It may be a positive development for us that our manufacturers observe this picture. Therefore, the increase in exports In order to make it sustainable, Turkey should quickly put robotic automation and digitalization first in production," he said. "The main industry is aware of robotic automation" Reminding that 95 percent of the companies in Turkey are SMEs, Aydoğdu said that the rate of robotization in the main industry exceeds 200 out of 10 thousand. Aydoğdu continued: "The main industry is aware of robotic automation and was already making these investments in order not to fall behind in global competition. Our SMEs should also be able to adapt to this competition in competitive purchases brought by the main industry. The way to this is through digitalization and robotic automation. As soon as possible. SMEs need to make these investments in order to compete worldwide." Underlining that the parkurda.com platform, which was implemented during the pandemic period, provides great advantages to SMEs, Aydoğdu said, "Parkurda.com brings our main industrialists and SMEs together. For example, when we think that the capacity of one company is full and the other is empty, the company that fills its capacity invests. At this point, the feature of parkurda.com comes into play and both companies can meet and exchange business on this platform. Our main goal here is to transfer the production power of SMEs abroad, to meet with companies that make production in Turkey through parkurda.com. to enable them to operate in large markets," he said. Expressing that they offer a system that can work without stopping with Tezmaksan's domestic and national robotic automation system Cubebox, Hakan Aydoğdu stated that companies have gained significant efficiency with the achievement of a faster production process in labor-intensive works. . Aydoğdu said, "Cubebox, as a marvel of R&D and innovation, brings advantages to companies in terms of cost and time. Increasing cooperation by increasing machine-operator interaction in smart factories, Cubebox accelerates production. With the system, parts can be changed without the need for robot programming knowledge. "Digital transformation, smart factory, artificial intelligence should not intimidate us" Emphasizing that another software developed within Tezmaksan, Capacitancematik analyzes the efficiency of machines, Aydoğdu concluded his words as follows: "Capacitymatik reports possible errors that may occur in the production process to the user. Sub-categories such as breakdown, preparation, loading and unloading and break are also reported.Capacitymatik helps SMEs grow as well as strategic sectors such as automotive, defense industry, aviation, medical. It can monitor the productivity management of factories via smart phone or tablet. The 40% increase in the use of the software during the pandemic period also shows how useful the software is. We aim to make Turkey's production power competitive in the world, thanks to the solutions we have developed based on digitalization and robotic automation. Innovations such as m, smart factory, artificial intelligence should not intimidate us. We think that awareness raising studies should be carried out in our country, especially for artificial intelligence, which develops in direct proportion to digitalization. We express at every opportunity that it is very easy to access these solutions both financially and in terms of process. We offer our technology rental formula to our customers at points that are financially difficult. As Tezmaksan, we are making great efforts for the transformation of Turkey with 360-degree solutions."
