Cobot at RAPA: From concept to application in three months
A pilot project in the field of collaborative robotics was successfully implemented at RAPA. Within around three months, the first operational cobot was created and transferred to an initial use case.
The project shows how automation solutions can be pragmatically integrated into existing processes and make a targeted contribution to reducing the workload of employees.
Cooperation between man and machine
In contrast to traditional industrial robots, which are usually used in isolated areas, a cobot is designed to work directly with humans. It provides support in the ongoing work process and primarily performs monotonous and repetitive tasks.
In the future, it could also be used for more physically demanding tasks.
Implementation in the field of industrial engineering
Sebastian Kießling was responsible for the project and independently developed the prototype from the initial idea through to application.
A major advantage of the system used is the user-friendly programming. This can be displayed visually and implemented with ready-made function modules. This makes it easier and quicker to make adjustments.
Basis for further applications
The project shows concrete potential for industrial practice - from more efficient processes to greater flexibility in future automation solutions.
The approach developed forms the basis for further applications in the company. A transfer to additional areas of application is currently being examined.
