At the automatica 2023 show in Munich, Universal Robots presented a new brand-new, innovative software platform specifically developed for machine tending tasks.

60+ UR cobots will be exhibited in more than 30 booths at Automate, taking place in Detroit, MI, May 22-25, 2023.

Universal Robots has announced a new partnership with Denali Advanced Integration, a leading services and global technology integrator.

Inbolt, a French startup specializing in the development of vision algorithms, has created a tool compatible with Universal Robots cobots to facilitate the automation of operations on moving parts.

Driven by a joint vision of a world without labor shortages, the workforce solutions company and leading cobot supplier have partnered up to provide North American manufacturers with fast, flexible automation.

With rapid workplace transformation evident across industries, whether that’s moving to hybrid working or adopting new technologies, what can we expect from 2023? Anders Beck, Vice President of Strategy and Innovation at Universal Robots, discusses five predictions for the coming year.

Universal Robots has grown its welding application segment with more than 80% this year as partners develop new capabilities for the pioneering cobot welders. At FABTECH, Universal Robots’ booth will showcase new solutions from Vectis Automation and Hirebotics, enabling the weldment of larger and more complex parts.

Attendees at North America’s leading machine tool show will experience how the all-new collaborative, industrial cobot from Universal Robots delivers the longest reach and payload in its class, offering the ability to automate even more hard-to-staff tasks in a market struggling to hire.

The strain placed on global supply chains this year continues to make headline news, from semiconductor shortages to labour and equipment availability, all exacerbated by geopolitical uncertainty.
