Combating the skills shortage with cobots
Plastic injection molding manufacturer PMC is tackling the shortage of skilled workers and productivity pressure with the smart Cobot Saywer from Rethink. The robot takes over monotonous tasks, relieves employees and increases productivity.

Intera 5.2 (www.industrial-production.de)
Update for Sawyer
With Intera 5.2, Rethink Robotics has further developed the operating system of the Sawyer collaborative robot. Intera 5.2 provides a better insight into business-critical data in real time and delivers key figures such as cycle time, number of parts, speed and force exerted.

New research software (www.industrial-production.de)
Students conduct research with cobots
Rethink Robotics has introduced the new Software Development Kit (SDK) for its cobot Sawyer. The software upgrade was developed for scientists and students to test programs on Sawyer. The software includes improved compatibility with ROS and the latest open source robotics tools.

Benefit from cobots
Back in the 1920s, futurologist Roy Amara noted: "We tend to overestimate the impact of a technology in the short term and underestimate it in the long term. This also applies to collaborative robots (cobots), says Rethink.
