Time is money—this is especially true in production. Many entrepreneurs worry: "If I buy a robot, my production will be at a standstill for weeks until everything is installed." With traditional industrial robots, this concern is justified. They require high-voltage power connections, reinforced floors, and complex safety cages.
Universal Robots' cobots were developed to solve precisely this problem. They follow the principle: unpack, plug in, get started.
No modifications, no downtime
A key advantage of cobots is their independence from infrastructure.
-
No high-voltage power required: Most cobots can be connected to a standard 230V outlet. You don't need to install any new wiring.
-
Compact design: Cobots are lightweight and space-saving. You don't need to change the layout of your factory floor. The robot adapts to your workplace, not the other way around.
The 60-minute benchmark
How fast is it really? Experience shows that an untrained operator often needs less than an hour from unpacking the robot to assembly and the first simple "pick & place" program.
For you, this means that integration often takes place in half a day without any significant interruption to your ongoing production. The robot contributes to value creation almost immediately.

Plug & Produce: One arm, a thousand hands
A robotic arm is useless without the right tool (end effector). Whether it's a gripper, suction cup, camera, or grinder, Universal Robots focuses on speed here too.
The UR+ ecosystem provides you with a platform for certified accessories.
-
Plug & Play: The accessory is simply plugged in.
-
Integrated software: You don't need an external laptop or complicated driver installations. The gripper control appears directly on the robot's touchscreen (teach pendant).
This seamless approach ensures that hardware and software work together perfectly—without you having to become an IT expert.
