THE USED ROBOT ECONOMY: UNDERSTANDING THE TRUE TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP (TCO) VERSUS A NEW ROBOT

Purchasing a robot is not simply a technical decision. In reality, it is a financial one. Many companies believe that the most expensive robot is the best, or that buying new is the safest way to “avoid risks”. However, when looked at from a business perspective, with numbers and strategy in mind, the reality is

THE NEW CONCEPT OF THE RECONFIGURABLE FACTORY: HOW REFURBISHED ROBOTS CREATE ADAPTABLE AND MODULAR PRODUCTION LINES

For years, factories were designed as rigid systems: fixed lines, dedicated stations and layouts that barely changed for an entire decade. But the days of mass, stable production are now behind us. The new industrial economy demands flexibility, customisation and immediate responsiveness. Thus, the concept of the reconfigurable factory was born, where refurbished industrial robots
