About
Romain Farel is a researcher focused on the intersection of sustainable manufacturing and industrial automation, with a particular emphasis on the challenges faced by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). His most-cited work, "Challenges in Sustainable Manufacturing With Industrial and Collaborative Robots: A Case Study" (2018), critically examines the barriers to automation, highlighting how the high cost of robotic integration and the traditional focus on Return On Investment (ROI) often limit adoption. Farel’s contributions lie in identifying the socio-economic and technical hurdles that prevent SMEs from accessing advanced manufacturing technologies, advocating for more accessible and sustainable automation solutions. While his citation count is modest, his work addresses a pressing gap in the literature by bridging sustainability goals with practical industrial constraints. His research is particularly valuable for students and practitioners seeking to understand the real-world limitations of implementing collaborative robots in resource-constrained environments, making him a thoughtful voice in the ongoing dialogue about inclusive and responsible industrial innovation.
