Using practical solutions, visitors will experience how the use of cobots helps companies to meet market requirements such as ever shorter delivery times or variable batch sizes. "Collaborating robots are increasingly taking center stage in logistics, as they can be used in a wide variety of applications: In the areas of packaging and palletizing, for example, cobots make a decisive contribution to being able to carry out processes efficiently, flexibly and sustainably," says Helmut Schmid, Managing Director Universal Robots (Germany) & Regional Sales Director Western and Northern Europe. "At Logimat, interested parties can find out how cobots can be integrated into logistics processes. The special feature: Under certain conditions, employees and cobots can work together directly."

e-Series takes center stage
At the international trade fair, visitors can try out Universal Robots' cobots for themselves. The focus will be on the e-Series: the model series represents the current cobot technology standard and offers an intuitive user interface, certified safety functions and a force-torque sensor integrated into the wrist. The advantages of cobots are particularly evident in packaging and palletizing: the robots can be quickly and flexibly adapted to different work steps when activities change - for example, due to low quantities. They also relieve employees of repetitive tasks.

The series comprises a total of four cobot models: UR3e, UR5e, UR10e and, most recently, the UR16e. All models are named according to their maximum load capacity in kilograms. as
