Collaborative robots, or cobots, appear in the factory's state-of-the-art floor center. And some myths and misconceptions have emerged, such as worker transfers and safety risks. Which stories are real? And what is pure delusion? 1. Cobots replace jobs It has been a long time until today. The message emerging within manufacturing plants is that robots have come to steal jobs. This is not true in the case of cobots. Cobots will relieve workers from heavy, repetitive tasks so they can play better, more exciting roles within the company. and with cobots that help increase productivity These companies tend to hire more people. So creating jobs is not eliminating them. Only 10 percent of jobs can be automated. Thanks to cobots, production has increased by 50% without losing jobs. From 2017-2020, robots created more than 2 million jobs worldwide. No machine can replace human expertise. analytical thinking decision making and creativity 2. Robotic automation for complex and large-scale operations When most people think of robots, An image of a large wooden box used on an assembly line came to mind. But in reality, with the flexibility of cobots These companies can automate even the simplest tasks.
Regardless of the size of the output Cobots can perform repetitive, manual or labor-intensive tasks such as lifting and placing, packaging and palletizing, screw driving, gluing, dispensing and welding. Beijing-based BAI Lear Automotive Systems Email Data specializes in the design and manufacture of automotive seating systems, producing 1,500 seats and 6,000 screws per day for high-volume locations. Downtime was not possible, so the company decided to find an efficient and flexible automation solution that would reduce the time employees had to get familiar with the new equipment and reduce production delays. After evaluation, BAI Lear considers cobots More suitable than industrial robots Given the limited space available to operate, traditional industrial robots are expensive. and had little flexibility to adapt to future needs. Ultimately, BAI Lear used 38 Universal Robots, or UR, cobots. Employees found that the UA cobots It is easy to set up, easy to use, cost effective and reliable. Reduce integration and test cycle times and reduce deployment risk. 3. Robot installation and maintenance is difficult. It's true that some robots are large. Cumbersome and difficult to use Some people even said that Need a doctorate level person to use it. But not for cobots. Because cobots are easy to install. operation and maintenance. And because cobots are so compact and lightweight, there is no need to change production lines when switching cobots between jobs.
It is also easy to program. or easily redeployed with minimal maintenance 4.Cobots are dangerous. for traditional industrial robots It is impossible to work side-by-side with people without taking their safety seriously. These traditional robots can handle heavier, bulkier materials and require safety experts to keep humans out of the robot's work area. Cobots are different from general industrial robots. Built with safety in mind Reduce safety risks for workers Designed to work with working people especially These robots work best under solutions where safety is not a concern. With built-in safety functions Cobots and humans can work in tandem without the need for cages. (depending on evaluation) One company that believes in their capabilities and works closely with cobots is Singapore-based PLC Industries. PLC Industries is committed to safety. This is a top priority because employees must work in close proximity to robots. The company wanted to ensure that the robots could work efficiently and safely within confined spaces. After a comprehensive industry evaluation, PLC Industries determined that the robots Universal Robots' UR10 meets this need without the need for safety supervision. “Seeing that our colleagues feel comfortable working with robots is encouraging. It is very good. Being able to work without fear is definitely a plus for all of us. The improved focus everyone now has comes from reduced fatigue and higher concentration levels. This significantly reduces the chance of accidents,” said Yeo Hock Lee, Engineering Manager, PLC Industries.
