Cobots (collaborative robots) have transformed our workforce over the past three years, shifting roles from machine tenders and operators to versatile, multi-skilled contributors. Previously focused on keeping up with production schedules with limited time for cross-training, our team at PBC Linear now leverages cobots, augmented reality (AR), and the Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) to streamline operations. These technologies enable machines to run efficiently with automated loading and quality sign-offs, freeing workers to cross-train in other areas. By integrating cobots and automation tools, employees take on multiple roles, fostering greater ownership, pride, and collaboration in their work, driving a more dynamic and engaged factory environment.
