Robotic Integration in Small Businesses with SMErobotics

Most people think that the robotic industry is only reserved for the automotive world and big production lines. This was true years ago, now with easy programming methods, Adaptive Robot Grippers and flexible robots, it is easier to justify the use of a robot in a small or medium sized enterprise. The SMErobotics collective is developing several methods to allow small enterprises to fit robots into their production line with a fast payback and minimal robotic knowledge. This consortium helps enterprises to get in touch with members from the robotics industry, so that they can work together to better perform assembly tasks, welding tasks and many others.
