Manufacturing Robots: The Good, The Bad, and The In-Between

If you thought manufacturing robots were a passing fad, think again.

All over the globe, factories are bringing a variety of robots into their setups. The productivity gains are undeniable – as is the competitive advantage.

The technology leap is widening the gap between competitors. Closing it relies on one thing, and one thing only: how well you implement automation within your factory.

How manufacturing robots are being implemented

When it comes down to it, robots are a tool. They comes in a variety of shapes and forms, and the type used depends on the situation at hand,

Some contexts may call for cobots. Others, like in pick-and pack situations, may require a robotic arm. And then we have humanoids.

While humanoid robots are currently in the fledgling phase, their value is already evident in the automotive sector. While safety trials are ongoing for this type of robot, others like Roboticom’s Sandrob have years of data to back up both safety and efficiency, and they’re gaining in popularity.

Large companies are leading the way in investing in this particular robot, as well as Roboticom’s other models. That said, forward-thinking small-to-medium sized companies are also making the investment with the knowledge that major leaps in capacity follow.

The question is: which robots are best suited to your specific setup?

The right manufacturing robot

Like any investment, choosing the right manufacturing robot depends on several factors. Factory size, manpower, and growth trajectory are a few that we take into consideration – as well as your complete setup, from CNC machines to loading and unloading systems.

While some manufacturing robots are purpose-built for specific tasks, others can be adapted or customised. A model like the Sandrob is specialised in sanding, no matter the industry. On the other hand, Bovone’s models are made for stone and glass, streamlining processes within these industries.

The right solution solves current inefficiencies while providing plenty of room for grow in the future. It takes analysis to find that sweet spot – and we’re more than happy to help.
