What's the difference between cobots and industrial robots?

Cobots, or collaborative robots, are designed to work alongside humans without the need for safety barriers, given the right risk assessment. They’re typically more flexible and easier to program, and they can be integrated into existing workflows with minimal disruption.

Industrial robots, on the other hand, are often larger, work at higher speeds, and require safety barriers for the protection of nearby humans. They’re best suited for repetitive, high-volume tasks.

Are cobots good for my business?

Cobots are not just instruments, but a valuable investment. With a modest financial commitment compared to other automation endeavors, they offer minimal risk and immediate benefits.

They adjust to meet your needs, so you can enhance productivity and optimize operations while earning a quick ROI (on average between 6 to 12 months).

And because cobots fit easily into any environment, their scalability is adaptable across multiple sites.

Are cobots safer than traditional industrial robots?

Yes, cobots are designed with safety in mind. They have built-in sensors and features that let them detect and avoid unexpected obstacles, including humans. This means they can safely operate alongside human workers without the need for protective barriers, given the right risk assessment. However, it's essential to ensure that any application they're used in is appropriately assessed for safety.
