In the new Lider, find out the real cost of industrial robots

There are more than 4.6 million industrial robots in the world, with half of them located in China, according to a report by the International Federation of Robotics (IFR). In Croatia and Europe, interest is growing, but we are still lagging in the robotization of production. The main cost is not the robot itself, but its integration into production facilities, which often costs up to six times more than the price of the robot.

In the new issue, we explain how an investment in robots of 40 thousand euros is definitely worthwhile as it can bring savings of up to 60 thousand euros annually.

The government, as well as the broader public, are nonchalantly responding to signs of slowing growth. The logic that we are not in a recession, so there is no reason to panic, is proving to be costly. It is irresponsible to expect that the slowdown in GDP and its components will stop on its own, writes the editor-in-chief of Lider Miodrag Šajatović in this week’s ‘Ekonomalije‘.

The price of gold reached a record 4,380 dollars per ounce in mid-October. Although it has slightly fallen since then, analysts believe that growth is just beginning. We discussed the gold market and why entrepreneurs who have sold their businesses are investing the most in gold with Loris Dessard from Auro Domus.

In the new issue, we also bring a story about Pet Network International, a network of over 260 pet product stores and 1,700 employees, which has grown from a local venture into a regional leader.

Rijeka has gained a new symbol – four sky-blue coastal cranes, which are part of the new container terminal Rijeka Gateway. We bring a report from the terminal that we visited ahead of the official opening.

And if you think that cyber attacks are far from you, five occur every day in Croatia. Non-compliance with the cyber security law can cost you up to 10 million euros, which is why in the risk management section we write, among other things, about new financial instruments that help companies protect themselves.
