What Can Collaborative Robots Do? Step 1 of the Practical Guide
The bottom line is that with collaborative robots, it is possible to do certain tasks that would have traditionally been done with an industrial robot, but with a smaller, less risky investment and greater flexibility.
Being a new technology doesn't mean that collaborative robots are more complex. Actually, they have been designed to be simpler and easier to use than traditional industrial robots. Even better, collaborative robots are designed to meet the challenges of high mix manufacturing found in most SMEs.

Discover the potential cost savings of robotic automation over a 20-year system life
This calculator compares your current manual labor costs against the total cost of owning and operating a robotic system over its 20-year lifespan.
Just like traditional robots, collaborative robots can move parts around, follow a path to perform a process and work autonomously for extended periods of time, increasing productivity and quality.
However, unlike traditional industrial robots, collaborative robots are simple and fast to program even by non experts, use a small footprint, usually don't require fencing, can be repurposed easily for new tasks, and are simple to integrate into a production process.
