"Since we produce different batch sizes and components when developing new products, it must be possible to easily reprogram the robot. With a traditional robot, this involves a computer and requires specially-trained staff. But with the UR5, any member of the technical staff can literally grab the robot and show it the motion sequence using waypoints."
“Human intervention is required in the process, because of which we cannot use industrial robots, as they are unsafe. We needed something that would work collaboratively with our operators, and also free up their time for more meaningful tasks. Now, productivity has improved by 10% and quality rejection is practically zero.”
