Robots have been an essential part of automating manufacturing facilities for a while now. In recent years, collaborative robots or cobots have made it easier to deploy automation quickly, easily and cost-effectively when needed. They are suitable for manufacturers of all sizes, whether small, medium or large. Cobots work in tandem with human workers on the factory floor, often taking on the tedious repetitive tasks and allowing the workers to perform more value-added work. For this podcast, we have with us three experts from Omron Automation Americas’ team to discuss collaborative robots – Adrian Choy, Mike Warren and James Mortell. We talk about collaborative robots, safety standards and regulations, selecting the right cobots, risk assessments, integrating cobots on the factory floor, training personnel and more.
