Dan-D Foods 'unpacks' newest ABB CoBot technology to keep ahead of competition
Cobots give competitive advantage
One of the main benefits of the ABB cobots is the ability to move to 24/7 production without risking overworking employees. The use of the robots also allow staff to be trained to be multi-skilled and work anywhere in the plant on multiple tasks.
“Our people are trained well so they get good pay without working long hours,” says Mr. Dan. “We train workers how to operate a robot and use the technology, so they become professional technology operators.”
Competitors use many more people, driving up costs. “Using the latest technologies to help our people to be more productive enables us to maximize our competitiveness,” says Mr. Dan. “GoFa works well with people, so our staff support it and have been asking for more robots. We have just built a brand-new plant and are hungry for more automation.”
