Overcoming Labour Shortages with Cobots

Labour shortages are a real threat to manufacturers, and the absence of skilled workers is one of the biggest constraints holding back business growth.?

75% of businesses are said to be experiencing difficulties filling vacancies, and a further 46% of those unable to meet output demands. When you combine labour shortages with an increase in customer demand and space limitations, it is more important than ever to think creatively about your production efficiency.?

Making automation possible for everyone, including small and medium sized businesses, cobots are primed to step in and support your workforce. In our latest blog we discuss how cobots can perform complex tasks with minimal effort and help fill those urgent labour gaps.?

Advanced Manufacturing Forum’s Monthly Meeting at Cobots Online

We were delighted to host Advanced Manufacturing Forum ’s monthly meeting at Cobots Online last week.

AMF is the leading voice of manufacturing here in the North East. They engage with members and the wider business community through events to exchange ideas and knowledge to create business growth and success opportunities within the manufacturing industry.

It was fantastic to show everyone our cobots in action in our factory and how they can be deployed across multiple industries. There were some insightful discussions with fellow North East manufacturers, particularly how cobots can extend the life of old machinery to boost productivity at a lower cost than purchasing new machines.?

If you’d like to continue the conversation and learn more about collaborative robots and automating your manufacturing processes, arrange an in-depth consultation and demonstration with the Cobots Online team.

Visit our North East Showroom

Rather than thinking about what cobots might be able to do for you, come and see them in action. In our on-site facilities we can demonstrate to you in real time the full capabilities of cobots to help improve your manufacturing processes.

The Cobots Online team are here to provide innovative solutions to your business with the support of cobots. We can also support you with bridging the gap between old and new technologies, as cobots can be used to retrofit older machines that would normally be scrapped due to age and software limitations.
