CPG Cobot Use Expected to At Least Double in Next Five Years

CPGs predict cobot usage in packaging will more than double in the next five years, with processing use expected to triple according to PMMI report.

Cobot Explosion on Horizon

The barrier between robot and cobot has continued to blur over time, especially as cobots become more versatile in their overall application and increase their weight tolerances. Some vendors are even exploring dual-mode robots capable of switching between an unguarded cobot mode and a more traditional heavy industrial mode. This blending of capabilities is blurring the line between robots and cobots, with the potential for some robotic deployments to fulfill both roles.

Processing Operations

Cobots have seen their role in processing steadily expand as IP69k construction standards, AI/machine learning, and enhanced robot vision systems become more common and affordable. Adoption in processing has also accelerated as a result of COVID-19 restrictions, particularly in the food industry.
