According to the study “Global
Assembling Cobots Market by End-user and Region - Analysis and Outlook 2016-2022”,
automotive vehicle and component manufacturers are keen to manufacture quality
products with the deployment of collaborative robots (cobots). Various
advantages of cobots are it offers advanced robotic automation, compact
equipment and safety guarding. Cobots possesses six articulation points and a
wide scope of flexibility, that mimic the motion of a human arm which can
perform repetitive tasks such as screw driving, assembling, labeling, handling,
and quality control. Cobots are used in a wide range of automotive environments
where high quality and precision are critical. Assembling cobots are a standardized
solution for all of its functional requirements such as material handling and
machine tending. Additional benefits of deploying assembling cobots include zero
annual maintenance costs, reduced power consumption, and retention of IP within
the organization. Few assembling cobots do not require safety guarding and can
work beside human workers.
Globally, automotive
industry is the first industry to embrace industrial assembling cobots decades
ago, and is still the largest consumer of cobots. Although many manufacturing
processes are automated, there are still a significant number of tasks that
depend on manual workforce which is not ideal in this era. Highly repetitive
tasks, demand for precision and consistency are ideal for cobots because they
work side-by-side with the human worker, allowing the operator to manage the
overall process while the robot arm handles the repetitive tasks. Automation
coupled with assembling cobots deployed within the auto manufacturing
industries are able to upgrade the manual assembly lines. Cobot relieves human
workforce from repetitive and dangerous tasks, but is safe enough to work
alongside them. All the assembling cobots are lightweight, flexible and easy to
program, so that they can be easily moved from one process to another.
Geographically, global
assembling cobots market is spread across the Americas, Asia-Pacific, EMEA and
rest of the world. Asia-Pacific region is the largest contributor within the
assembling cobots market, followed by Europe and North America. Increasing
industrialization in China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and India are the major
contributors for the growth in assembling cobots market. The leading players
within the global assembling cobots market are ABB, KUKA, Rethink Robotics,
Universal Robots, Fanuc, Adept Technology, Bionic Robotics GmbH, Robotnik
Automation S.L.L., Yaskawa Motoman and Kawasaki Robotic.
Assembling cobots are
small, lightweight and can be hand-carried from one shop floor to another for
various jobs. Assembling cobots are used to seal door panels, seal sunroofs, glass
gluing, glass installation, and installing engine block manifolds. It was
estimated that there are almost unlimited possibilities for cobots in
automotive OEM manufacturing plants, where cobots are used to screw together
car seats, rest frames all the way to assembling the circuit boards for
heads-up displays for infotainment systems and many more functions. Globally, huge
multinational automakers and spare parts manufacturers who make few highly
specialized components will experience a rapid growth over the next few years
with the increasing deployment of assembling cobots.
