Step inside a virtual factory ✨🦾

Hi,  

You know what they say: seeing is believing. 

So, we built something to help you do exactly that: the new Virtual Factory. And yes, it's totally FREE! 

We get it: imagining where and how collaborative robots fit into your production can be a bit of a puzzle. That’s why we’re handing you the (virtual) keys. 🔑 

Now you can walk through a realistic 3D factory and see exactly how cobots could work in your world.    This is how it works:    💻 Enter a 3D factory  🦾 See real-world application examples  👀 Visualize how your setup will look 

Start with our Food & Beverage or Metal & Machining factories, but keep an eye out, more are on the way.

Did someone say...safety? ⛑️ 

Robotics safety just got a serious upgrade!  

ISO 10218:2025 is here, and it’s clearer, stricter, and more explicit. Led by Roberta Nelson Shea – winner of the ‘Nobel Prize’ of robotics –, this update leaves no room for guesswork.

Yes, there’s no more “reading between the lines” when it comes to keeping the workforce safe. But here what it means for the industry: 

🔹 Manufacturers & integrators: Every robot maker will need to tweak their designs, update manuals, and make sure they’re in compliance before the 2011 standard is officially retired in 2027. Bonus challenge? Figuring out the new external axis safety requirements.  

🔹 End users: The new standard doesn’t just protect users; it empowers them. Expect more comprehensive documentation from integrators, covering everything from installation to risk assessment. If you're assembling your own setup (DIYers, we see you), don’t skip Part 2 of this ISO. 

Bottom line? This update makes safety more transparent, enforceable, and consistent. That’s a win for everyone.
