Cobots via distribution

The agreement between OEM Automatic and KUKA Nordic gives a real boost to sales. 
- "OEM has a strong representation in the market and well-developed marketing and sales channels. With their help, we gain further momentum to grow in the Nordic and Baltic markets," says Joacim Lorentsson.
Cobots are also perfectly suited for distribution via an external partner, as it is a type of robot that does not require programming skills. Instead, the robot learns the movements by the operator moving it with his hands.
Cobots will be available as an assortment under CABLE on the OEM's website.

- KUKA's collaborative LBR iisy robots complement our other offerings very well," says Jens Kjellsson.
