Collaborative robots can take care of tasks that are monotonous and tiresome for the employees. With cobots, your company can therefore produce faster, more safely and efficiently at a price that can compete with products produced in countries with cheaper labor. We see an increased focus on gaining greater control over its supply chain and many Canadian companies are now moving production home from low-wage areas. The key to continuing to be competitive with production in Canada is a high degree of automation - i.e. with cobots.
A collaborative robot, also called cobot, is a cost-effective, safe, flexible and extremely user-friendly robot. They are designed to work side by side with people, without the necessary safety distance and shielding. Collaborative robots make automation easier than ever before for companies in all industries, as they can handle a wide range of tasks. All over the world, companies are working towards automation to increase productivity, address labor shortages and improve product quality.

There are many advantages to implementing collaborative robots in your company.
There are many advantages to implementing collaborative robots in your company.
With cobots, you can achieve flexible automation for production of all sizes. Cobots can be used for many different tasks, from assembly to painting, from screwing tasks to marking, from packing to polishing, from injection molding to welding, or any other task you can think of.
The areas of application span, among other things:
Cobots – or collaborative robots – are a safe and reliable work force, they are easy to install, easy to adjust and have a fast payback time. Your company can therefore produce safer, faster and more efficient at a price that can compete with foreign products produced with a cheaper labor.
Collaborative robots are designed to work side by side with humans, without any kind of safety measures. However, it always requires a thorough safety assessment and the overall solution must always be CE marked in accordance to current regulations.
When cobots collaborate with humans, they will need to work at a slower pace than industrial robots. They can be implemented in such a way that they work faster when there are no people nereby, and automatically slow down when a person enters the work zone, thereby further increasing the productivity. A cobot will typically be installed in a flexible setup that allows the operator to reprogram it to handle other items in the same setup, or moved to a completely different place in production where it can be used for other tasks.
