March of the cobots: The technology lowering the barrier to automation
Cobots, or 'collaborative robots ', are a type of industrial robot designed to operate safely alongside human workers. Like conventional robots, they tend to take the form of a multi-jointed arm that can rotate, swivel, bend and contort to approach a job from any angle. Interchangeable tools at the end of their arms allow cobots to perform countless tasks, from assembling electronics and packaging pharmaceuticals to gluing and even welding. But the machines are smaller and more flexible than traditional robots, and are designed to be integrated with the workforce rather than separated from it, making automation attainable even for smaller companies. The first cobot was invented in the mid-1990s by two professors from Northwestern University in Illinois in the US, with commercial versions hitting the market a decade later. Since then the technology has surged in popularity as demand for automation soars in sectors from packaging to electronics, particularly among small and medium-sized enterprises. READ MORE Cobots accounted for 11 per cent of all industrial robots installed in 2023, the most recent year for which data is available, according to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR). The cobot industry now has sales of almost $3 billion (€2.64 billion) a year, according to California-based consultancy Grand View Research, which forecasts annual growth of more than 30 per cent to the end of the decade as adoption spreads. Ben Morgan, interim chief executive of the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) at the University of Sheffield in the UK, said that while cobots were 'starting to come to the fore' around the start of the last decade, 'now they're far more commonplace. You see them in SMEs, you see them in multinationals, original equipment manufacturers, in lots of different applications'. Robots have been used in heavy industry for decades, boosting productivity in sectors such as car-making and metalworking. They tend to be large, expensive machines limited to a single task and their power requires them to be fenced off from workers to limit the possibility of injuries. The technical expertise required for their programming means deployment can carry the additional cost of hiring or contracting specialists, putting them out of reach for all but the largest of companies. Cobots share their older siblings' reliability and consistency but are smaller and tend to be far cheaper, with a faster return on investment, allowing easy integration into existing workflows and lowering the barrier to automation. Cobots can help companies improve productivity, quality and consistency by introducing automation at lower effort, and with less disruption to the existing production line, than traditional robots — Susanne Bieller, International Federation of Robotics Typically worktop-mounted, they are equipped with sensors that halt their motion if a person or unexpected object gets in the way, allowing them to operate more safely alongside human colleagues without the need for costly safety caging. They do not always require specialist programmers. Many boast intuitive touchscreen technology or functions that allow a human operator to manipulate them, rather like a stop-motion animator, in a way the cobot learns and can then repeat. Such 'plug and play' capabilities, combined with their portable size, makes them flexible – able to be switched to different tasks elsewhere on the production line. 'Cobots can help companies improve productivity, quality and consistency by introducing automation at lower effort, and with less disruption to the existing production line, than traditional robots,' said Susanne Bieller, general secretary of the IFR. Morgan of the AMRC said cobots provide smaller companies with a 'soft entry' to robotics and automation. The flexible nature of the technology has led to their adoption for a multitude of tasks. In the manufacturing industry, for example, cobots assemble products by manipulating their constituent parts together, fixing them with screws or glue, spraying them with paint, and even performing visual quality control. They are also ideal for 'pack-and-place' warehouse tasks, picking up products and arranging them in boxes or pallets for storage or shipping without the risk of damage that human involvement can bring. [ How robots are helping to set a sustainable course for Irish farming Opens in new window ] Cobots are increasingly used in welding, a skill in decline in many markets, and in the plastics industry for tasks that are potentially hazardous for humans such as polishing and injection moulding. But the vast range of appendages to their arms means the possibilities are virtually endless. Leading makers of cobots include Denmark's Universal Robots, Japan's Fanuc, ABB of Switzerland and Germany's Kuka, which claims to have created the first commercial version of the technology. But surging demand has created 'quite a crowded market', according to Morgan, with a steady flow of new entrants. Like industrial robots, cobots can work faster and with greater precision than people, raising the prospect that they could eventually replace the workforce. But advocates of automation say productivity gains help companies grow, which normally leads to larger rather than smaller workforces. Morgan of the AMRC acknowledged that when robots or cobots are put into a factory, 'it's fair to say that the process they're part of has less humans in it', but he said displaced individuals were usually deployed in other parts of the business. He added that robotics 'tends to help with the four 'Ds' – tasks that are difficult, dangerous, dull or dirty', for which it can be difficult to hire workers. – Copyright The Financial Times Limited 2025

Nitrile gloves firm Enliva to invest Rs 100 crore to scale operations
Live Events The Indian market is seeing a rise in the demand for nitrile gloves. According to Grand View Research, the market for nitrile gloves , crucial for handling hazardous chemicals, is projected to grow from $12.71 billion in 2024 to $20.71 billion by 2030, at an 8.5% CAGR (2025-2030).'The demand is being driven not just by healthcare, but by broader shifts in hygiene protocols across pharma, food, and industrial sectors. Asia-Pacific is leading this growth, with North America and Europe continuing to set the bar on compliance and quality,' said K. Anindith Reddy, Co-Founder and Managing Director, Enliva Enliva, a nitrile manufacturing company based out of Hyderabad, produces 1 million nitrile gloves daily and about 300 million nitrile gloves annually. The company is now set to invest Rs 100 crore to scale up operations. It is looking to add two lines to their current facility in Visakhapatnam and a new plant under evaluation for 2028.'Our goal is to build distributed, resilient capacity and respond faster to global demand shifts. We're also exploring strategic acquisitions and partnerships. Most importantly, this investment will deepen our R&D, building on our recent milestone of launching India's first accelerator-free nitrile glove,' he was founded in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2021 by Reddy, a member of Apollo Hospital Group's promoter family, and his associates Shaaz Mehmood and Ishaan Dodhiwala. During that period, there were many gaping holes in the healthcare supply chain, an important one being India's dependence on imported medical essentials like nitrile wasn't just the shortage they noticed, but also the inferior, often rejected products being routed into the Indian market.'In 2021, we laid the groundwork for Wadi Surgicals (Envila's parent firm), our manufacturing unit inside the Andhra Pradesh Medtech Zone in Visakhapatnam. By 2022, we commissioned India's first double-former nitrile dipping line, designed for both speed and precision. May 2023 was a key milestone-our first line went live,' he pointed out that India is at a critical inflection point and is one of the top consumer bases globally for nitrile gloves, with annual demand exceeding 11 billion nature of demand is changing as customers are increasingly looking for skin-safe, accelerator-free, globally compliant gloves. With evolving regulations, especially post-COVID, the need for high-performance, sustainably manufactured gloves is no longer optional, it's expected, Reddy said.'However, we still depend on imports for about 75% of our needs. That gap signals a massive opportunity for reliable, high-quality local production. We believe India can make for the world,' he of the core issues plaguing the Indian glove industry is the lack of regulatory enforcement, he pointed out. While quality-conscious manufacturers invest in BIS-certified, skin-safe, non-chlorinated gloves, the market continues to be flooded with low-cost imports, many of which are chlorinated, poorly stored, or chemically unstable. 'These gloves often degrade quickly, cause skin irritation, and compromise long-term usability, especially for healthcare workers who wear them for hours each day,' he issue is the inverted duty structure under the ASEAN Free Trade Agreement, which further complicates things. Reddy explained that this agreement allows zero-duty imports from countries like Malaysia and Thailand, where manufacturers, backed by subsidies, can undercut Indian producers who are investing in compliance, R&D, and ethical manufacturing practices.'This makes it harder to compete on price without compromising on quality. We're tackling this by staying focused on building a differentiated, high-performance product. At Enliva, we've invested in producing accelerator-free nitrile gloves that are more durable, gentler on skin, and aligned with evolving global norms. We're also working actively with policymakers to push for Quality Control Orders, enforce BIS standards, and introduce anti-dumping duties to protect both consumers and compliant manufacturers,' he said.
