SHERLOCK collaborative robots eliminate the possibility of human errors, creating a much safer environment for operators to work in. A low payload collaborative robot works together with human operators on the riveting of more than a hundred varieties of panels. Given the high production rate expected, the operator and the robot must be able to communicate, exchange information, and execute their tasks at the same time and in complete harmony through a fluent interaction.

AR-based operator support empowers the operator giving essential instructions and adapted training so that it efficiently reduces the production time and margins of error. Quality, fluency and safety are ensured via AI-based workspace and process monitoring technologies, while zero-programming methods allow quick and easy reconfiguration for new product variants.
