Findings and analysis:  Deploying the robotic technology empower the process of removing the errors for less number of human interactions. It helps in increasing demands for the specific services (Jacobs et al. 2013). Minimization of the revenue spend can provide competitive advantages for Advanced Robotic Technology to gain several opportunities in the business. Moreover it decreases the turnaround times of Advanced Robotic Technology. The best uses of latest equipments will be achieved by robotic technology. However, utilization of robotic technology has limitations like stuff reluctant in the changing working practices (Kardos et al. 2014). In addition, samples of transporting from the reception area to specific analyzers are occurred by using robotic technology. In addition, ongoing revenue cost of the consumables is a drawback for utilizing the robotics in Advanced Robotic Technology. On the other hand, Advanced Robotic Technology has several policies to apply robotic technology as one of the core business strategies.  

SWOT Analysis

The job satisfaction rate is increased for implementing robotic technology in organizations. However, cross fertilization of the ideas between several departments assist in increasing opportunities for business in the organizations. Along with these, it becomes easier to implement the lean laboratory process (McCorkle et al. 2016). However, staff may be threatened for having less number of jobs and change management. Moreover, it is effective to use the robotics, which is considered as major threats for the technology in Advanced Robotic Technology.

It is important to investigate the business opportunities of the organization for applying the robotic technology in Advanced Robotic Technology. Being an ICT manager in the organization, it is required to achieve that with the help of strategic analysis.

Industry insights: In this perspective, the market size of industrial robotics gas value is nearly $30.58 billion. There are rush in implementing robotics in the manufacturing industry in Australia in order to perform repetitive as well as multifarious and dangerous risks for improving  productivity in this sectors such as automotive as well as electronics (Nawabi et al. 2013). These are generally considered by high-volume production lines. In addition, the industries are now adopting the technology in order to realize that it would be helpful to gain financial advantages to increase productivity reduce overheads useful for waste reduction as well as flexibility in the organization.

Self-programming robots are expected to gain prominence with the advancements in the fields of artificial intelligence and improvement of sophisticated sensors (Panait et al. 2013). However, introduction of robots with integrating certain vision as well as touch is generally expected to improve speed along with efficiency of the production and system of delivery. In addition, the simple autonomous robots are operated as one of the important parts of the greater group obtaining prominence.
