Putting safety and risk management at the heart of your organisation to improve your performance
Successfully integrating collaborative robots into your production chains Make the interaction between humans and robotic equipment safe and efficient: robots, motorised lines, cobots, exoskeletons, etc. • Validate the feasibility of the project. • Support change management. • Guarantee the technical control and conformity of equipment. • Get staff involved and train them in proper use.
Evolving consumer expectations, being aware of the environmental impact of production, or even integrating cobots into the production chain... the agri-food industry faces multiple challenges throughout the sector’s value chain. Recruiting and retaining staff are also major challenges which give you the incentive to take measures to develop the skills and the quality of working life of your staff.
