Automate repetitive tasks – Collaborative Robots (Cobots)
Highly repetitive tasks within a production facility that can be done with a collaborative robot will reduce the operator density and naturally distance workers from one another.
As Universal Robot’s blog explains, “the simplest way to understand how cobots and industrial robots differ, is that cobots are designed to work alongside human employees, while industrial robots do work in place of those employees. Cobots are also more easily programmable than industrial robots because they are capable of “learning” on the job.” They are easy to program and redeploy for other tasks as your business needs change.
