Reducing COVID Risks with Robots

Reducing COVID Risks with Robots

1. Cobots

   • Collaborative robots are able to operate safely within close proximity to humans.
     • Often used to augment human workers or assume their tasks so the humans can move to more value-added and fulfilling work, cobots have a reputation for raising the human condition.

2. Robotic Palletizing

   • features a track-mounted robot for servicing multiple conveyor lines and promoting social distancing among manual labor.

3. Rent A Robot

   • Companies are leasing robots (palletizing systems) as a manpower replacement because they either lost people during the shutdowns or they are looking to thin out the density ofpeople in their shops

4. Fewer Touchpoints with Robotic Bin Picking

   • Reduces labor costs, increases throughput and minimizes human touchpoints, a potential for infectious disease spread.

5. Mobile Robots

   • promote social distancing by delivering parts to assembly lines, transporting work-in-process (WIP), and managing material handling in warehouses.

6. Remote Monitoring and Service Support

   • Preventive maintenance is critical to limit equipment breakdowns, increase performance and efficiency, maximize service life, and safeguard workers from faulty, potentially hazardous equipment

7. Meatpacking Robots

   • Robots process raw meat on the meatpacking line, saving human operators from harsh working conditions and potential risks associated with refrigerated, tightly compacted working spaces.
