Q. What types of industries would benefit most from safemotion? Example of a possible scenario where humans can work closer to robots?

A. Any industry with direct human/process interaction. Typical applications in assembly would be part loading, part inspecting/gauging, welding or preventative maintenance of the cell/application. An example of a load operation with a robot would include the following process:

1. Operator loads work piece onto table and steps away
2. Robot picks up the piece and holds it for weld, or welds it on the table
3. Robot moves away or places piece back on the table
4. Operator removes the welded piece and places a new one on the table

With safe motion, the work table could essentially be removed, allowing the operator to place the work piece directly on the robot end effector. This would, remove a large physical barrier (i.e. the table) from the work area, as well as eliminate several steps from the operation.
