    Robot-based automation: 3 tips for a time and cost-efficient implementation

    Why no-code and low-code tools have become indispensable in robotics Using robots is almost always worthwhile for companies. They can reduce labor costs, relieve employees, and make production more flexible – because the required batch sizes are becoming smaller and production processes more individual. In addition, a robot or cobot offers another major advantage: it…
