At RSS Manufacturing
in California, it took
to set up and program the robot to perform simple tasks.
Being compact and lightweight, there is no need to change production layout when switching the cobot between tasks. They are easily programmed or re-deployed, and require minimal maintenance.
Deploying a UR robot for machine tending increased production speed significantly while opening up 30% more capacity on existing machinery, enabling RSS Manufacturing
to compete with overseas manufacturers.

Cobots have built-in safety functions that permit them to work safely
side-by-side with people. Cobots do not need to be caged up behind protective fencing (subject to assessment).
Norwegian meat producer Nortura needed to optimize palletizing but had no room for safety caging. A UR robot with a ceiling-mounted vision system provided a cost-effective palletizing system in one-fifth of the space typically required.
The safety system is certified by TÜV Nord to Performance level D, resulting in an extremely reliable system.
