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.
