The safe choice: Universal Robots at Etalex

Published on Jun 2, 2014

Universal Robots are quick and flexible cobots - collaborative robots - able to operate without safety fencing after risk assessment is conducted. They save a lot of time and money at Etalex in Montreal, Canada, where a UR10 robot now handles
pick and place tasks at a brake press.

Installing a UR robot has freed up 7 man hours per day and has cut the price of production, resulting in a 40% increase in sales with no layoffs in staff.

Etalex purchased the UR10 robot through Universal Robots' distributor in Canada, Advanced Motion & Controls http://www.advancedmotion.com/

Universal Robots automates Singaporean precision engineering firm

Published on Jul 7, 2014

The shortage of skilled labour coupled with rising material and real estate costs have become huge issues for companies in Singapore. Eager to stay ahead of the game, local SME, PLC Industries (PLC), began automating their production lines in February 2014. Armed with two UR10s, PLC is already reaping rewards of increased efficiency, reliability and significant cost savings.
"I was most impressed by how quiet the robots function -- you hardly notice them, but they can go about their work 24/7 with no glitches. It is not aggressive in its outlook and gives workers that peace of mind to concentrate on their individual tasks. With a payback period of under a year for each robot paired with the positive experience we have had so far, we are confident in achieving greater success by strengthening our collaboration with Universal Robots in the years to come," says Yong Hock Thye, Business Development Director, PLC Industries.
