Smart, collaborative robots that adapt to real-world variability, excel in semi-structured environments and change applications quickly have arrived. And they are becoming the solution of choice for companies looking to boost flexibility, efficiency and quality in their operations.

An industry that once looked to automation to drive volume production is now seeking to gain an edge in flexibility.
