Distributors say that collaborative robot performance is lacking. In fact, 79% of automation distributors don't believe their customers understand the safety requirements of installing a collaborative robot. That’s according to the results of the "Global Robotics Report" by TM Robotics.
The report states that over 55% of automation distributors do not believe collaborative robot technology is advanced enough to deliver the performance demands of manufacturing or packaging industries. This coincides with over 80% of distributors witnessing no decline in industrial robot sales since the dawn of the cobot.
