In 2019, 35% of British companies were already using robots for various tasks. However, 34% of the respondents were still reluctant due to high acquisition and installation costs. Few years later, there are now many new opportunities on offer. From robotic arms and industrial robots used for fitting, mounting or screwing workpieces, to UAVs and mobile platforms used for transporting goods or inspecting facilities – these technologies have become more cost-effective and the potential areas of application are now almost infinite.

Lend me your arm
We usually see industrial robots working as standalone complete machines. However, in recent times, there has been much talk of cobots—robots that are optimised to work with humans. No less exciting is the use of robots in conjunction with production and packaging machinery. A silver bullet is not forthcoming, instead we have three completely different…
