Tackle Labor and Productivity Challenges with Cobots
Labor shortages, worker fatigue, and production delays are ongoing challenges for manufacturers. Cobots help bridge the gap by taking on repetitive, high-volume, or physically demanding tasks—allowing your team to focus on higher-value work that drives efficiency and growth.
Common Applications
Machine Tending
Loading and unloading CNC machines is one of the most repetitive and physically demanding tasks on the production floor. Standard Bots cobots manage these operations with speed and accuracy, allowing operators to focus on higher-value responsibilities. Equipped with quick-change grippers and safety-rated sensors, they keep multiple machines running efficiently with minimal downtime.
Palletizing
Whether stacking finished goods or unloading incoming pallets, Standard Bots cobots automate repetitive material handling tasks with precision and consistency. They help maintain steady workflows across shifts, reduce worker strain, and fit seamlessly into existing floor layouts with their compact design.
Pick and Place / Kitting
Ideal for repetitive part handling and transfer tasks, Standard Bots cobots accurately sort, pack, and load components between workstations with consistent precision. Integrated vision systems and adaptive grippers manage varying part shapes and materials with ease—minimizing the need for operator oversight.
Case Packing / Packaging
From carton forming to final packing, Standard Bots cobots handle packaging operations with speed, precision, and repeatable accuracy. Their flexible design adapts easily to product changes, allowing manufacturers to manage high-mix, low-volume runs without complex reprogramming.
Welding Automation
From tack welds to long seams, Standard Bots cobots integrate effortlessly with MIG and TIG systems to produce consistent, high-quality welds. Their intuitive programming and built-in torch compatibility make welding automation simple, affordable, and practical for shops of any size.
Inspection / Metrology /
Vision QA
Cobots equipped with cameras or 3D scanning sensors perform accurate, repeatable inspections with exceptional precision. They monitor tolerances, surface quality, and dimensional alignment in real time—reducing defects, improving consistency, and enhancing traceability across production.
Automation in Days, Not Months
