Esben H. Østergaard,
founder and CTO of Universal Robots, and Vikas Sawhney, GM, Engineering, from
Bajaj Auto Ltd. showcased the proficiency of a co-bot through an interactive
session to demonstrate how collaborative robots are increasing the efficiency of
processes on Bajaj’s shopfloors. Since 2010, Bajaj Auto Ltd. has more than 100
Co-bots helping them drive their position as the world’s 3rd largest motorcycle
manufacturer. They are the first company in India to implement the use of
collaborative robots in automotive assembly lines in India.
On this occasion Vikas
Sawhney, Bajaj General Manager Engineering (Robotics and Automation)
said, “Two-wheeler assembly lines are highly labor-intensive,
spatially challenged which have physically taxing movements that require
high-end precision. While trying to automate these lines, one of the basic
requirements was for standardization. Moreover, we also wanted to be cognizant
of the requirements of the large women workforce at Bajaj.”
During this session,
Vikas Sawhney and Esben H. Østergaard also showcased a short video on how the
UR co-bots revolutionized the Bajaj shopfloor by streamlining and automating
the processes of production across units.
Adding to this, Esben H. Østergaard, Founder and CTO of
Universal Robots said, “We are very happy to hear about how our
co-bots have eased out processes at Bajaj. Our co-bots were chosen because of
their compactness, safety and cost effectiveness. This is a sustainable and
suitable option for companies like Bajaj whose employees now possess the right
tools to carry out repetitive tasks with faultless precision. The collaborative
nature of our co-bots will ensure that their employees are beaming with smiles
at the end of their day.”
Universal Robots (UR) was launched in India on October 22, 2015
and is the leading manufacturer of advanced user-friendly and light industrial
robotic arms from Denmark.
