Revolutionising Automation: The Role of Cobots in Modern Industries

In today's industries, cobots are pivotal in driving innovation and productivity through automation.

The 2D Grasping Kit by SCHUNK stands out as a transformative solution, leveraging advanced AI to streamline gripping and sorting tasks. This article explores the significance of cobots in modern production and how the 2D Grasping Kit revolutionises automation with its user-friendly interface and precise capabilities, empowering companies to enhance efficiency seamlessly.

The 2D Grasping Kit allows companies to easily automate their gripping and sorting tasks. No skilled personnel are required for setup, teaching, and operation, thanks to offline AI support and a simple user interface.

All manufacturing companies face the same challenge: How can they maintain or even expand cost-effective and efficient production with the same number of employees? Staff shortages have become the norm in all industries. That's why companies want to automate more and more production steps, especially physically demanding or monotonous tasks for which fewer and fewer employees can be found.

Fortunately, advances in robotics, AI, and gripping systems continue to allow new, cost-effective applications for automation solutions. In the past, businesses usually had enough skilled personnel to install and operate automation systems. As a result, the systems gained more and more functions but also became more difficult to operate. Today, this poses problems for small and mediumsized companies in particular. They are struggling with staff shortages that prevent them from automating their production and thereby future-proofing it. In particular, companies face a significant challenge when it comes to the handling of components by robots. When a camera system is necessary to achieve precise positioning for component gripping, many companies encounter limitations and must rely on external service providers for automation, becoming dependent on them.
