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

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

  • Transport between stations

  • Machine tending and loading

  • Pick and place workflows

  • Packaging and palletizing

  • Replenishment and internal logistics

Who should attend

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