5 Takeaways From The Pick, Place, & Palletize Cobot Expo
Hosted by Universal Robots from March 9-10 2021
PPP tasks go hand-in-hand with labour and ergonomic challenges. Today’s smart packagers employ collaborative robots to take over box erecting, bin picking, lifting, stacking and palletizing tasks, allowing you to reassign your employees to higher value, safer work. Cobots are also flexible enough to be moved from task to task, so they can be used wherever they’re needed most on any given day.
“Universal Robots’ unique tradeshow “The Cobot Expo” offers manufacturers flexible automation solutions for a fast-changing world.”
Missed out on the show? We’re here to give you a brief on it – watch the video below where James talks about the 5 key takeaways from the picking, placing and palletizing cobot expo hosted by Universal Robots.
#1: The Reality Of Your ROI
Few would argue with the benefits of collaborative automation. But if you’re a small- or mid-sized manufacturer, you’re probably asking yourself, “can I afford such a solution with all the pressures facing my factory and the looming economic uncertainty?” Or, maybe you’re thinking: “That’s great – but my capital equipment budget is tapped out.”
Now, you can immediately put cobots to work without the upfront capital investment. Whether you are starting your automation journey, looking to upgrade your current cobots, or ready to increase automation in your factory, our robot rental program helps you grow your business without dipping into cash reserves.
