GOALS

• Optimize production floor layout to accommodate collaborative robots and improve human-robot workflow, aiming for a 10% increase in space utilization
• Reduce operational costs by 5% by minimizing production downtime caused by safety incidents and improving overall equipment effectiveness (OEE)
• Implement a robust safety training program for employees working alongside robots to foster a culture of safety and productivity

Frustrations

• Resistance from shop floor workers who fear robots might replace their jobs, leading to difficulties in implementing new technologies
• Strict safety regulations and compliance requirements that slow down production processes and create administrative burdens
• Lack of real-time visibility into robot operations and safety system performance, hindering proactive decision-making and troubleshooting

GOALS

• Master the configuration and programming of Veo Robotics' safety systems to become the in-house expert and ensure smooth deployment
• Develop innovative solutions for human-robot collaboration within the production line, leveraging his technical skills and understanding of Veo's technology
• Improve his job security and career prospects by becoming a sought-after specialist in robot safety and collaborative automation

Frustrations

• Limited training resources and support materials for quickly learning and troubleshooting Veo Robotics' software and hardware
• Difficulty convincing senior management to invest in advanced safety technologies due to perceived high costs or lack of understanding
• Lack of communication and collaboration between the engineering team responsible for automation and the shop floor technicians who operate the robots daily
