Kirin tests robotic hands for beer gift box assembly as Japan’s labor shortage looms
Kirin is demonstrating how in-house robotic hands can replace manual labor in Japan’s increasingly aging workforce.
Robots designed at Kirin’s Brewery’s Package Innovation Laboratory are being tested in product assortment and box set processing – operations that have until now only been handled manually.
Known as the “2030 Problem,” Japan’s continuously aging society and decreasing birth rates are expected to result in seniors making up one-third of the national population by the end of the decade.
