Robots
In Malaysia, we are not
very aggressively using robots in the workplace. What I want to share here is
Universal Robots. Universal Robots now targeted ASEAN country as a potential
customers. Based on my reading, Universal Robots has reinvented industrial
robotics with lightweight, flexible robot arms. Tasks previously thought
impossible to automate due to cost and complexity, are now achievable with the
user-friendly robots. Instead of expensive sensor technology, the UR5 robotic
arm utilises a unique patented technology to measure electrical current in its
joints to determine force and movement. The innovation enables the robot to
undercut the price of other automated solutions. This enables medium and
large-sized enterprises to automate production previously unthinkable.
“Enterprises will be glad to know that UR robots are cost-efficient and have
short payback periods of only 12 to 15 months,”
In more than 45 countries, from the small machine shop to the
large auto assembly line, Universal Robots optimize production, relieve
employees from strenuous or monotonous tasks, and ensure quality control. Many
companies worldwide have invested in UR robots to save on manpower, whereas
others have used them to boost product quality and productivity. Sometimes they
are used in repetitive tasks to improve working conditions for employees.
From my point of view, Universal Robots can help our production
process to become more efficient and effective especially manufacturing industries.
Industries in Malaysia could have a look to this technology in order to
optimize their production. UR has two distributors in Malaysia which are
Automation Systems & Services and Systech Control. We can contact both of
them for more detail information.
