Both Cobots and AMRs can be seamlessly integrated into the workplace, to address a number of problems. These systems can be deployed in almost any situation with minimal training. Below are just a few of the benefits that these can provide:

• Improve workforce morale. Cobot systems can take on monotonous and unfulfilling jobs that your employees do not enjoy doing. These can then allow employees to retrain and take on more challenging roles than before.

• Build up an automated foundation. AMRs work as a great base for other robots to be integrated with, including Cobot systems. These systems are cost-effective as well, providing ROI past the initial financing.

• Operate with minimal adjustments. AMRs are taking over from AGVs (automated guided vehicles) because of their advanced laser scanners, allowing them to map their environment and find the best route, even in busy work areas. This means that they need little adjustments to fit into the workplace, compared to the previously used AGVs, which required a physical route put in place.

• They offer a solution to labour shortages. Automated robots do not require extensive training courses and can be deployed in nearly any position required on a production line. They do not require breaks, sick days or holidays and so can continue working past restricted hours of a regular employee, also.

• See more consistent results. Cobots and AMRs do not get tired or lose concentration on a task, meaning a standard of quality is much easier to repeat.
