Cobots offer game changing benefits

Cobots are Collaborative robots that are cost-effective, safe, and flexible to deploy. Collaborative robots - or cobots - are making automation easier than ever, even for small and mid-sized companies around the world.

Cobots from Universal Robots give manufacturers access to all the benefits of advanced robotic automation, without the extra costs associated with traditional robots: difficult programming, long set-up, and shielded work cells. This makes automation affordable even for small-batch production runs and mixed product assembly.

While our day to day work is focused on the nuts and bolts of collaborative automation: proving ROIs, looking at production reliability. It's important to step back and remember that this technology is changing the world for the better.
