CHALLENGES

· Skilled personnel are underutilized by using them for monotonous work

· Human needs and organization is causing production interruptions

· Risk of accident and errors increased due to the monotonous nature of the work

· Staffing and Shift models

APPROACH

Costs per robot cell

approx. 80.000 €

Engineering and implementation time

approx. 2 months

Operation training

approx. 3 - 5 days

Collaborative Robotics is uncharted territory for many companies.

Basic idea:

A variable (movable) robotic arm is outfitted with various tools for use in recurring processing and assembly.

Current problems:

Safety requirements for machines preclude collaborative work with robots.

Increased complexity increases costs, especially for smaller projects where robots may otherwise be suitable. 

Vision:

Staying competitive and in touch with the latest developments in robotic technology.

Real-time camera systems are coming very soon and should be embraced.

WHAT TYPE OF WORK IS SUITABLE FOR USING A LIGHTWEIGHT ROBOT?

· Easy to describe

· Low level of complexity

· Currently performed by production workers

WHY SHOULD WE CONSIDER USING A LIGHTWEIGHT ROBOT?
