The Real Cost of a Part Sitting Still

Mobile Cobot Webinar_hero image_072826

Most cycle time isn't work. It's parts waiting to move.

Most plants never measure it, but it’s there in every shift. An operator leaves the station to fetch material. A machine sits idle waiting on tending. A work cell stalls because the last part hasn’t shown up yet. It isn’t a labor problem or a machine problem. It’s a movement problem and it stays invisible until you add up the minutes.

This live webinar looks at mobile cobots: machines that don’t just carry parts between processes, but pick them up, handle them, and put them to work the moment they arrive.

What you’ll learn

  • Three real deployments, live:  Transport, machine tending, and pick-and-place, running in actual production environments

  • Why “fixed infrastructure” is the wrong question:  How these systems deploy inside the layout you already have, no rebuild required

  • The ROI math, explained: A model you can apply to your own floor and scale use case by use case

  • What happens after use case #1:  How an open ecosystem turns a single deployment into a growing capability, instead of a one-off project

If material flow is the quiet bottleneck nobody’s tracking, this is 45 minutes worth blocking off to attend.

What we'll cover:

  • The challenge: Where internal material flow stalls - labor, throughput and safety pressures

  • The concept: What a mobile cobot is: a MiR autonomous base carrying a UR cobot arm​

  • Applications in action: Transport & material flow, machine tending, and pick & place​

  • The business case: ROI, deployment feasibility, scalability and safety / compliance

  • Next steps: Talking to us about your first mobile-cobot workflow

Kent is a Sales Engineer at Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR), working closely with manufacturers and logistics teams to evaluate, deploy, and scale AMRs for internal transport. His work focuses on identifying suitable automation workflows, defining success metrics, and supporting customers as they move from initial deployment to larger‑scale adoption. He brings hands‑on experience supporting customers from first deployment through broader adoption in real production environments.

What changes on your floor with mobile cobots

  • Material arrives where it’s needed — without manual transport

  • Operators stay at their stations instead of walking parts

  • Work cells keep running instead of waiting

  • Transport becomes predictable, repeatable, and measurable

Applications

  • Material transport/intralogistics

  • Machine tending and loading

  • Pick and place workflows

  • Quality inspection/Data collection

Who should attend

Operations and engineering leaders, automation and process engineers, plant and warehouse managers, and finance, procurement, and EHS stakeholders evaluating mobile automation.
