The UR robots at
Dynamic Group, an injection molder in Minnesota, delivered a 400% production increase, paying themselves back in only two months.
Installation requires minimal investment as they do not require major infrastructural changes. They can be redeployed to different functions in the production line and used around-the-clock.
