Steve Reinharz, founder and CEO of Robotic Assistance Devices, predicts a Fourth Industrial Revolution propelled by new technologies is the future of industry

FERNDALE, Mich. - November 30, 2021 - There is an inevitability to the use of autonomous remote services (ARS), commonly known as robotics, by industries currently bound by personnel that will help ease labor shortages, according to Steve Reinharz, founder and CEO of Robotic Assistance Devices (RAD).

What Reinharz calls the Fourth Industrial Revolution will affect every business sector and include the convergence of IoT, artificial intelligence with machine learning, robotics, high-speed data streaming and a slew of other technologies.

"Those organizations and their offerings, which are unwilling to aggressively think outside the box, to educate themselves about new technologies and resources, and devise better ways to serve their customers in these changing and demanding times, will soon be white elephants," Reinharz says.

ARS, says Reinharz, can autonomously and remotely support the full spectrum of technologies needed to provide robust security, facility, concierge and health screening, and other services. ARS is the logical, if not natural, next phase in industrial evolution, he says.

Continuing, he says ARS represents a wholesale business transformation of industries dependent on personnel. It's a pure, Fourth Industrial Revolution application of how businesses should be thinking about the best ways to deliver engineering solutions from the ground up.

Robotic devices already deliver food, take care of the elderly, perform cleaning services, serve as cashiers and provide customer help and support.

Reinharz says in addition to helping address manpower shortages, robotics and artificial intelligence-based hardware and software solutions will empower organizations to gain new insight, solve complex challenges and fuel new business ideas at a reduced cost.

"Never, in our lifetimes, have we seen the entire world change course, in so many ways, so quickly. As we seek solutions on a multitude of dimensions in light of unprecedented challenges, few are as obviously ‘right' as automated robotic services," Reinharz says.
