NEW VS REFURBISHED ROBOTS: WHEN IS EACH OPTION APPROPRIATE?

In an increasingly competitive industrial landscape, the choice between purchasing a brand-new industrial robot or opting for a refurbished one has become a crucial consideration for many manufacturing plants. This decision not only impacts the initial investment, but also factors such as ongoing maintenance, technological integration, installation speed and the overall sustainability of the project.

THE NEW CONCEPT OF THE RECONFIGURABLE FACTORY: HOW REFURBISHED ROBOTS CREATE ADAPTABLE AND MODULAR PRODUCTION LINES

For years, factories were designed as rigid systems: fixed lines, dedicated stations and layouts that barely changed for an entire decade. But the days of mass, stable production are now behind us. The new industrial economy demands flexibility, customisation and immediate responsiveness. Thus, the concept of the reconfigurable factory was born, where refurbished industrial robots

ROBOTICS FOR INDUSTRIAL RECONSTRUCTION: HOW REFURBISHED MODULAR CELLS ARE RESTORING COMPETITIVENESS TO FACTORIES

Over the past ten years, a silent phenomenon has taken place in the global industry: while some manufacturing plants have closed due to cost pressures or failing to modernise in time, others have resurged with impressive strength without the need for multimillion-euro investments. What is the secret? Intelligent industrial reconstruction supported by refurbished robotics and

AUTOMATING RECYCLING: RECONDITIONED ROBOTICS AT THE SERVICE OF THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY

Industrial recycling is undergoing a quiet but profound transformation. Until recently, the separation and processing of materials largely relied on traditional manual or mechanical methods. Today, thanks to robotics, these tasks are becoming automated, increasing efficiency and reducing workplace risks. What is truly innovative, however, is that much of this automation is being achieved using

REGULATORY EVOLUTION: SAFETY AND CERTIFICATION IN EUROPEAN INDUSTRIAL ROBOTICS

In industrial robotics, safety is not just a legal requirement—it is the foundation of responsible automation. As the use of refurbished robots continues to grow rapidly, understanding European regulations and safety standards becomes essential to ensure operations are both lawful and secure. In Europe, industrial robots are primarily governed by the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, which
