1. The cooperative robot is easy to program

Some new collaborative robots are planned for user friendliness and easy programming, so that no engineers are required to implement them. Some even have the function of manual guidance. Cooperative robots can learn from examples and guide them according to a series of actions required to complete their programming mission.

2. Short setting time

The longer it takes to set up automation, the more expensive the initial funding. Staff training, production stoppage and the high cost of hiring external service providers may prolong the time of return on investment. In the case of small and medium-sized companies, these may pose big problems.

This is taken into account in the planning of collaborative robots, as well as the need to have out of the box functions. The pre programmed software allows users to set up their own robots, so they can set them up in less than 30 minutes. In addition, the flexibility brought by the short setting time of the cooperative robot improves the production rate and return on investment.

3. Cooperative robots can be used in different applications

One of the first selling points of collaborative robots is flexibility. Programming a collaborative robot for a new mission is simple and requires no external service personnel. This brings versatility into the production line, and it's easy to set up collaborative robots to perform a series of different missions on the same day, or to specify dates for certain missions.

Collaborative robots can be easily integrated into agile systems because they enable users to quickly respond to planning changes and reset the robots accordingly.

At present, cooperative robots on the market can act as many characters, generally for service people and industrial people. Service cooperative robots are used to provide information, transport goods or provide security protection in public places. Industrial cooperative robots have a variety of applications, including but not limited to picking and placing, packaging and palletizing, assembling, machine protection, surface finishing, and quality testing and viewing.

4. Consistency of achievements

Robots don't get tired, so their results are more consistent and accurate than those made by humans who do the same job. This makes them particularly suitable for monotonous missions because they can repeat simple actions without compromising the quality of the work. Just set up, the cooperative robot can perform the same mission with the same ability.

5. Positive impact on employees

Manufacturing workers are worried that they will be replaced by robots, which have the advantages of being faster, more accurate and more indefatigable. But the fact is that it's probably too low. Especially in companies with high mixing volume and small batch production, because in general, the traditional industrial robots used are high cost and low flexibility.

This has opened the door to the so-called fourth industrial revolution.

Information technology is used in intelligent production, enabling human and collaborative robots to work together without cutting down on personnel planning. The workers were not replaced by machines. Instead, through the use of collaborative robots, workers are able to eliminate repetitive processes and reduce their time, so that they can handle more messy tasks, thus improving their daily experience.

The cooperative robot can support the human occupation industry, receive the risk, dirty and tedious mission, so as to create a safe and pleasant working area environment.

6. Improve productivity and optimize process

In the process of receiving human workers, it is difficult for cooperative robots to concentrate on or maintain the performance at the same level for a long time, while the accuracy of robots will reduce the possibility of faults and product defects to almost zero.

Rapidly changing the mission of collaborative robots helps workers optimize production lines and cut costs, and together adhere to high standards of product quality.
