From the perspective of domestic market customers, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are the main users of collaborative robots due to their high flexibility and low cost. Furthermore, from a practical standpoint, China's aging population trend is becoming increasingly apparent, domestic labor costs are rising continuously, and the manufacturing industry is striving to find more flexible and efficient production models to alleviate labor shortages and cope with a rapidly changing market. This also provides space for the development of collaborative robots for SMEs.
The rise of collaboration can help people enjoy a better quality of life and reduce working hours. For employers, collaborative robots can handle the most dangerous tasks, reducing injury risks and labor costs. The drawback of collaborative robots is that they cannot perform all tasks done by humans. Over time, they may be able to handle many manufacturing tasks traditionally performed by humans. In which scenarios are collaborative robots applicable?
1. Collaborative robots still have limitations in performing fine tasks.
2. Collaborative robots cannot completely replace humans.
3. Collaborative robots replace labor, but are costly.
4. These devices can make people work more efficiently, and people will feel worthless.
5. With fewer employees, living space has been squeezed.
6. Collaborative robots have amazingly improved workplace safety.
7. Collaborative robots can be programmed in half an hour, and people can shut them down.
8. Collaborative robots are more consistent and accurate than humans, which inspires people's competitive spirit.
The rise of robots can be attributed to their ability to handle any dangerous, tedious, or dirty task. Collaborative robots can be used in secure areas. When someone enters the area, the collaborative robot can be trained to slow down. Then, if people get too close, it will track them and stop working. Over time, collaborative robots can be trained to mimic how humans perform different tasks and duties.
In which scenarios are collaborative robots applied? The application market for collaborative robots is experiencing explosive growth, with applications expanding beyond the industrial sector. Collaborative robots are primarily used in the automotive and 3C (computers, communications, and consumer electronics) industries. Furthermore, they are also used in commercial sectors such as pharmaceuticals and petrochemicals. Currently, they are widely used in logistics, warehousing, and healthcare.
