Light Automation Toolkit For Collaborative Robotics

Broetje-Automation‘s modular framework light and collaborative robotics allows the integration of a wide range of manufacturing processes as well as multiple configurations on mobile or stationary platforms.

Applications are focused on supporting manual workflows where full automation is not possbile or accessibility is not suitable for industrial robots. Collaborative robots (CoBots) assist workers in their daily tasks by supporting unergonomic or repetitive tasks. They increase value creation and improve quality as well as productivity.

Advantages of Light Robotic solutions by Broetje-Automation

  • Modular Platform for Collaborative Robots / Light Robotics
  • Fully integrated Systems for multiple applications and processes
  • Accelerating manual workflows
  • Utilization of the same workspace like humans
  • Inherent safety features allow the robots to work right next to and in interaction with humans
  • Data collector to IT-systems
  • Impact compensation on demographic factors on both availability of workforce as well as improvement on ergonomics
Human-robot collaboration
