1. WITH COLLABORATIVE ROBOTS
5 STEPS TO GET STARTED

2. Know what collaborative robots can do?
Unlike traditional industrial robots, collaborative robots:
• Are simple and fast to program by non experts.
• Use a small footprint. Most applications don't require fencing.
• Are simple to integrate for the simple tasks.
• Can be repurposed easily for new tasks.

3. Identify potential tasks
What’s easy to automate?
• Repetitive tasks
• Aligned parts for a pick and place application
• Dispensing
• Matrices and trays

Did you know?
The integration of robotics does not cause job loss, instead it
creates a shift in tasks on the production floor.
Your main goal is to increase production with the robot; you will
need more people down the line to handle that increase. You
will end up moving these employees to jobs that are more
stimulating for them, so you will see employees more motivated
about what they do!

5. Assess your potential applications
But how?
1. Focus on the applications that are identified as
‘’Potential for Automation’’
2. Gather data in order to make a sound decision on the
first application to automate
3. Use the evaluation grid that we will send you at the end
of this educational series on collaborative robots

6. Get management on board
Closing the deal
1. Quality and consistency
2. Return on investment
3. Added value tasks
4. Decreasing injuries
5. Employee retention
