A cobot can still automate your process, but you may need additional help from a system integrator or other resource.

Cost-effective, safe, and flexible collaborative robots, or cobots, are making automation easier than ever, even for small and mid-sized companies.
But while cobots can take on an amazing range of operations, some jobs make more sense to automate than others.
That’s especially true if you’re just getting started — and that’s why we created this easy 10-step guide.
Ideal applications for cobots are repetitive, manual processes that take place around human workers but don’t require human dexterity, critical thinking, or on-the-spot decisions. Machine tending and pick-and-place operations are a great place to start, especially those jobs that can cause ergonomic injuries or require human workers to interact with dangerous machinery.
