Problem
Many manufacturers operate legacy production lines that lack flexible automation, real‑time digital monitoring, and predictive maintenance capabilities, making it difficult to meet Industry 4.0 performance targets without costly plant overhauls.
Solution
Mobile Cobot Solutions provides end‑to‑end engineering of collaborative robots—both mobile autonomous guided vehicles and fixed‑base arms—to retrofit existing manufacturing cells. The company delivers custom hardware integration together with production‑floor software that connects robots to PLCs and MES via OPC‑UA, enabling continuous data capture and inter‑machine communication. Built‑in safety features and force‑limit sensors allow safe human‑robot collaboration on the shop floor. Collected telemetry feeds a cloud‑hosted analytics platform that visualises key performance indicators and runs machine‑learning models for predictive maintenance alerts. Clients access the system through a web dashboard and can extend functionality via modular software licenses, ensuring scalability as automation needs evolve.
Target Audience
Primary customers are mid‑size to large manufacturers in sectors such as automotive, metalworking, and consumer goods that need to upgrade existing lines, as well as system integrators looking for ready‑made collaborative robot solutions.
