Integration with Robotics Systems
Automation and assembly in the 21st Century are fundamentally linked to robots and robotic automation systems. From heavy lifting to finely-detailed manual labor, robots are now doing much of the hard work of manufacturing and assembly.
Robots, of course, offer numerous benefits to manufacturers, from payroll savings to improved turnaround times. But before these benefits can be enjoyed, the upfront investments of infrastructure and integration need to be made. That’s where mk comes in.
