In December, Universal Robots sold its 50,000th cobot, which was purchased by a German manufacturer to increase productivity and improve employee safety.
The 50,000th cobot came in a special delivery as Jürgen von Hollen, president of Universal Robots, personally handed over the cobot to VEMA Technische Kunststoffteile GmbH and VEMA Werkzeug und Formenbau GmbH. Located in Krauchenwies-Göggingen, Germany, the companies make plastic parts, die-cast metal parts, and the tools and molds for making them.
