Exploring the Power of Collaborative Robots in Heavy Payload Production
Are you still convinced that traditional robots are the best solution for handling heavy payload production needs? Cobots, such as those from Universal Robots (UR), are designed to work alongside human workers, tackling tasks that are often dull, dirty, and dangerous that few workers want to do themselves. They can now manage heavy payload capacities of up to 66 lbs and can even be redeployed to other tasks when needed.Simple Programming and DeploymentTraditional robots often come

Painless Palletizing with Universal Robots
Automated palletizing refers to the use of robots or machines to stack and organize products or materials onto pallets, which can then be transported easily. This process is faster and more efficient than manual palletizing, as it requires less labor and can be done more accurately and quickly.Cobot palletizing, which involves the use of collaborative robots (cobots) to stack products on pallets, offers several benefits, including:
Increased efficiency: Cobot palletizing is much faster tha
