Update 2025: Current requirements for compliant cobot applications

  • Description

    2025 will bring a number of significant regulatory changes that directly affect manufacturers, integrators, and operators of cobot applications. This keynote speech will provide a concise overview of the current standards and legal requirements: The new robotics standard EN ISO 10218:2025 – Key points and impacts on planning and integration The updated EN ISO 13849-1 (safety functions of control systems) – What will specifically change in the implementation of functional safety The new EU Machinery Regulation (EU 2023/1230) – Requirements for conformity assessment, CE marking, and technical documentation from January 20, 2027 Practical recommendations for the legally compliant development, integration, and safe operation of cobot systems A presentation for everyone who plans, builds, or operates safe and standards-compliant cobot applications – concise, up-to-date, and with a focus on practical implementation.

Do It Yourself Automation! Successfully Implementing DIY Robotics

  • Description

  • Automation is no longer just relevant for large industrial companies. Small and medium-sized enterprises and skilled trades businesses also benefit by optimizing processes, relieving the burden on skilled workers, and creating more attractive jobs. But how can automation be implemented cost-effectively without high investments and dependence on external providers? In my presentation, you will receive inspiration, ideas, and possible solutions to these questions. We will discuss:
  • Why DIY robotics?
  • How can it be implemented safely and quickly?
  • What challenges need to be overcome?
  • What do best practice examples look like? Using concrete use cases, the presentation will demonstrate how medium-sized companies can quickly get started with automation with minimal risk.

Heavyweights in the cobot sector 20 kg – A contribution to health protection

  • Description

    This presentation provides an overview of how collaborative robots (cobots) with a payload of over 20 kg can make a significant contribution to occupational health. Given the increasing importance of health protection, it is crucial to protect our employees from health problems, especially musculoskeletal disorders. The use of cobots can automate heavy lifting operations, significantly reducing the risk of physical overload. The presentation explains the advantages of this technology, describes specific applications in various work areas, and demonstrates how the implementation of cobots protects and promotes employee health in the long term.

Rethinking production: Automation with cobots as the key

  • learn more

    The world of manufacturing is undoubtedly undergoing a transformation. Customer demands are constantly rising, which is why companies need to produce faster, more flexibly, and in smaller batch sizes. The search for suitable skilled workers is becoming even more difficult. For manufacturing companies, the automation of production processes—especially with the help of cobots—is proving to be an effective solution for overcoming these challenges. And it gets even better: Automation solutions can be implemented more easily and quickly these days than many people think.
