Integrating cobots into production lines and system solutions

10 February 2020

MiniTec continues its Art of Simplicity mantra by integrating cobots into production lines and system solutions. MiniTec has placed the cobot strategically to both improve efficiency in production and make proper use of the expertise of production staff, but only after careful assessment that a cobot adds value to the system implementation.

MiniTec is a forerunner in UK manufacturing, thanks to its smart industry solutions. It has designed and created its modular aluminium profile system to create bespoke workflows and improve efficiency. Simplicity is key to the MiniTec method and the company operates with Lean and smart manufacturing always in mind. 

Given that, MiniTec has taken the almost natural next step of embracing collaborative robots (cobots) and working out how to best integrate them into their own workflow. Cobots are making an appearance across many sectors but just because they are emerging technology, doesn’t mean they have to be included in every manufacturing and technology business. Cobots might not even be the most effective tool for every sector. 

But MiniTec is all about simplicity and streamlining. It has recognised that a cobot can fit quite easily into some processes, taking some of the more repetitive tasks and completing them quickly, efficiently and error-free. As well as an increase in productivity, this will free up production team members, allowing them to be employed in tasks better suited to their skillset and expertise.
