Top Reasons why cobots are preferred

‍

Almost every food and beverage companies today rely on some sort of automation to keep their manufacturing lines running. Because of advancements in automation and robotics, no firm is too small to benefit from reducing costly downtime, maintaining quality, and better utilizing their human staff.

Maintaining affordability of goods :

‍

In a setting where energy and material costs are always rising, companies must prioritize the affordability of pantry goods. Atria Scandinavia is in charge of packaging, labeling, and palletizing products.

To maintain competitive pricing, limiting downtime is critical, as any large pauses in the manufacturing process may result in price increases. This is where cobots come into play, assisting manufacturers in avoiding such downtime concerns and maintaining their competitive edge in the market.

‍

Prioritizing worker’s safety :

‍

Collaborative robots are intended to operate alongside humans, limiting potential hazards and reducing workplace risks. Unlike traditional industrial robots, which operate in confined spaces, cobots are outfitted with advanced sensors and safety features that enable them to recognize the presence of humans and respond appropriately, either by slowing, stopping, or modifying their motions.

‍

Cobots lessen the likelihood of workers suffering from strain-related injuries by taking over repetitive and physically demanding jobs. They can do heavy lifting and repetitive actions, allowing humans to concentrate on more complicated and cognitive tasks.

‍

Using less Space :

‍

Traditional industrial robots frequently require enormous safety enclosures or cages, which can take up a lot of floor space in a plant. Cobots, on the other hand, have a smaller footprint and may be readily integrated into existing workspaces, making better use of available space.

‍

Combining with IoT and AI:

‍

Cobots can be integrated with IoT and AI technologies, allowing them to gather and analyze data for predictive maintenance and continuous process improvement.
