How to do Machine Tending Using Collaborative Robots

After having gone into many different manufacturing enterprises I quickly realized that the gap between their actual state and their desired state of robotization was often due to whether or not they believe in the concept of automation. It helps if people can see that the process is working fine and that it is easy to do. Most people don't want to mess around with a robot that is working only half the time. They are already busy enough with their every day jobs, they don't want to have to bother about a robot too. This is where collaborative robots come into play. They are safe to use, easy to program and space saving; these robots are the perfect fit for machine tending.
