DECEMBER 2020CIOAPPLICATIONSEUROPE.COM 19than industrial robot deployments. Currently, across Europe's factory floors, 1000s of tube lifters are installed and manually operated by humans. Cobot Lift can add value to this infrastructure and enable automated handling to help maintain social distancing--an important concern to prevent further spread of COVID-19. "Cobot Lift is focused on enhancing collaboration between humans and robots and helping companies take full advantage of such collaboration," says Henrik Elm Gullov, CEO of Cobot Lift. Moreover, the company's solution is simple enough to be programmed and operated without the need for engineers. Cobot Lift brings affordable automation solutions to manufacturers of all sizes with pick and place or palletizing solutions. The company's product, Stationary Cobot Lift, resembles an exoskeleton designed for cobots mounted on the floor. It boosts cobot's payload from 10 to 45 kg, and an operator can work alongside it without the need for a fence. Besides, the arm tool of the Stationary Cobot Lift can be fitted with a mechanic, electric, or magnetic lifter instead of vacuum-based. Another product is the Mobile Cobot Lift, which integrates robot, controller, teach pendant, vacuum tube, pump, and crane in a single unit for maximum flexibility and mobility. It has similar features to the Stationary Cobot Lift with the added benefit of mobility while occupying 80 percent lower footprint compared to a traditional industrial robot. Cobot Lift also offers CL+, a platform that provides certainty that products work together and enables clients to quickly understand the possible use cases. For instance, Cobot Lift recently certified Smart Shift, a product that allows a change of tools within seconds as a CL+ product. Illustrating how Cobot Lift helps increase capacity and productivity, Gullov mentions the case of a client in Denmark. The client required a palletizing robot to enhance their supply chain operations while also ensuring the safety of their workers. Cobot Lift's solution proved to be a perfect fit for the client's needs as it allowed workers to move pallets efficiently and since it does not require a fence helped save space. The client also benefitted from affordable pricing, and their workers were able to quickly learn how to operate Cobot Lift's solutions due to their ease-of-use. Today, Cobot Lift's distributor network covers 25 countries, and the company has distributors in the Norway, Poland, Denmark, Belarus and Chile. Moving forward, Cobot Lift is focused on developing more automated handling products for heavy payloads that are difficult to manoeuvre. The company's collaborative lifting solutions featuring true plug and play functionality continue to push the boundary of what's possible in the robotics landscape.
