Innovating the Industrial World
Automation is imperative in the automotive industry, but some dull, dirty, and dangerous processes in your facility may still be manual. Often finding human labor for these positions can be difficult and cobots could be a great solution. Implementing cobots, however, does come with their own set of complexities.
Check out this episode of Cross’s podcast, Innovating the Industrial World. Our host and CEO, John King, sits down with Manan Banerjee and Mike Holland from our Automation Group to discuss the reasons companies big and small are using collaborative robots for their applications. Learn about the ins and outs from engineers themselves to help decide if a cobot is right for you.
