Cost-effective, safe, and flexible collaborative robots - or cobots - are making automation easier than ever, even for small and mid-sized companies. This ebook will help you kickstart your first cobot project.

Are your competitors already on board the automation train? Don’t let them leave you in the dust. In this ebook, we’ll help you identify and address the concerns of three key stakeholder groups.

The top challenge for manufacturers is the gap between the demand and availability of workers who have experience as robot operators, programmers, engineers, and maintenance technicians to keep automated factories humming.

Have you resigned yourself to manual production processes just because you’re not a big national manufacturer, or have low-volume/high-mix manufacturing? Maybe you’re not asking the right questions.

Get the flexibility you need to adapt quickly and competitively to new demands. Cobots let you automate more processes with greater consistency and higher quality.

Precise, flexible, and easily redeployed cobots support your agile production requirements. Safely distance workers on repetitive tasks while increasing output.

Don’t let unskilled labor and inconsistent quality hold you back. Cobots let you respond quickly to any size order, without worrying about staffing, training, or worker safety.

Hygienic, low-touch production is easy with collaborative robots. Flexible, cost-effective cobots can solve production inefficiencies across product lines and tasks.

Gain new efficiencies in lab analysis with cobots handling precise, repetitive tasks. These lightweight, flexible, and easy-to-program tools can be quickly set up, moved, and redeployed for a wide range of research and educational applications.

Master the 3Ps—picking, packing, and palletizing—with safe, affordable, and flexible collaborative automation. Quickly redeploy lightweight robot arms to handle different product lines, or set up a small-footprint or mobile palletizing system.

From injection or blow molding to 3D printing, don’t waste valuable employees on repetitive, low-value tasks. Flexible cobots can tend multiple machines, and can be easily moved to secondary processes for part finishing and packaging.

Flexible, affordable cobots are used in dozens of industries, and the list keeps growing. You get the advantages of higher output, better quality and consistency, and the ability to move workers into more valuable, safe, and rewarding tasks.
