How To Prevent 24% of Workplace Injuries
In the United States, overexertion and repetitive motion account for 24% and 8% of workplace injuries, according to Universal Robots, the company that produces collaborative robots designed to assist in tasks that are not only repetitive but laborious.
“Cobots” are an attractive option for taking over these tasks due to their flexibility, ease of use and low installed cost. One popular task the cobots can address is palletizing. With robots that can carry up to 27.5 pounds, cobots are an attractive solution for palletizing arrangements that require a large footprint and extensive safety guarding. Factor in the continuous maintenance and programming costs on top of the initial installation and traditional palletizing automation becomes out of reach for many small and medium sized businesses.
