Industrial robots
Fixed robotic arms suit defined tasks such as welding, palletising and machine tending. Compare payload, reach, repeatability, cycle time and the complete cell design.
TECHNOLOGY EXPLAINED
Different robots.
Different strengths.
Start with the work to be done. Robot form, tooling, software and the surrounding process all shape a useful deployment.
Collaborative robots
Cobots can support flexible workstations and frequent task changes. The complete application still needs a competent risk assessment; tooling and workpieces affect the design.
Autonomous mobile robots
AMRs move materials through mapped environments. Evaluate route layout, traffic, load transfer, docking, fleet software and recovery from blocked routes.
Vision & sensing
Cameras and sensors help detect position, inspect parts and guide motion. Performance depends on lighting, object variation and calibrated acceptance tests.
Physical AI
AI can help interpret scenes and plan actions. A capable demonstration does not establish reliability across every operating condition; define boundaries and test exceptions.
Integration & lifecycle
End effectors, controls, guarding, networks, maintenance, training and process ownership determine whether a robot becomes a dependable production system.
Evaluate the application, not just the arm.
Document the task, payload including tooling, required reach, takt time, product variation, operating environment, acceptance criteria and responsible integrator. Obtain qualified engineering and safety advice for the actual installation.
