HOW DO I KNOW WHEN TO STOP OPTIMIZING AND START PRODUCING?

Some projects never fail: Because they never start! They live in a permanent state of improvement. Every week, the system becomes a little better than before—slightly more precise, a bit more elegant. There’s always something to tweak, something to polish, something that “before we start real production” should be optimized. The robot moves. The simulation

INTEGRATING COLLABORATIVE SAFETY IN HYBRID LINES: CHALLENGES AND BEST PRACTICES

In the modern factory, the best of two worlds comes together: the robustness of traditional industrial robots and the flexibility of collaborative robots, or cobots. This fusion—a hybrid human-robot line—offers great advantages but also raises critical challenges: safety, ergonomics, production flow, and adaptability to change. For brands like KUKA, ABB, or FANUC, which you manage

WHAT SPECIFIC IMPROVEMENTS WOULD WE SEE IN EFFICIENCY, QUALITY, OR COSTS WITH THE INTEGRATION OF A ROBOTIC SOLUTION?

The integration of a robotic welding solution does not simply replace manual labor, but transforms the entire production process. The benefits are mainly reflected in three key areas, which are constantly monitored by the industry: production efficiency, weld quality, and operating costs per part. These improvements are recognized worldwide and proven by the actual performance

How Does URT Measure the Success of an Arc Welding Robotic Integration Project?

The effectiveness of a robotic welding integration project is determined by tangible outcomes in several crucial aspects. First and foremost, the quality of the weld bead is of utmost importance, as it directly impacts the strength, safety, and compliance with regulations. High-quality robotic welding results in fewer defects such as porosity, lack of fusion, undercut,

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
