Integrated Palletizing Workstation with an Industrial Robot and a Cobot

It is anticipated that the field of industrial robot deployment will continue to grow in the coming years. However, an even higher growth rate is expected in deployment of cooperative robots. This means that the area of robotics will be one of the decisive factors in increasing competitiveness on the variable product market. It is logical that such an expansion of robotics cannot be based on solo robotic workplaces. Rather, ever increasing collaboration of different robot types is expected to take place. In co-operation with the SjF, MANEX sees the near future in implementing automation to its production, namely automation of lines and workplaces where industrial robots-cobots-men work together or in a complementary manner. The issue of this integration is relatively new and it is still difficult to find comprehensive methodologies of how to approach it.
