Why Letting the Machines Do the Tending Will Open the Door to the Next Industrial Revolution
As anyone in the know can tell you, machine tending is incredibly important to the manufacturing process. A well-functioning manufacturing workflow relies on machinery consistently being loaded and unloaded with parts or materials.
Utilizing Cobots to Manage Labor Shortages
By replacing manual CNC processes with the RB series cobots, the company has increased productivity by 40 to 50 percent. This has enabled the company to respond more effectively to client demands, which have increased two to three times since the recent semiconductor boom.
Maximizing the Value of Collaborative Robots
As we will discuss in this article, cobots can add tremendous value to your operations, but you should be sure to pay attention to risk assessments and safeguarding requirements.
World's most remote robot automates Amazon reforestation project
