n a world where humans and robots have been co-workers for decades, Reeco intends to bridge the gap between the two by off ering the supply and integration of collaborative robots (cobots), allowing humans and robots to work together. With their reach and payload being more comparable to that of a human operator, combined with their enhanced safety features, cobots have opened the door to an extensive range of automation possibilities that were previously inaccessible.
Knowledge, Experience & Expertise Compounded on over 20 years in the industrial robotics industry, Reeco has strong roots within robotics automation. Based in rural mid-Wales, Reeco off ers a peak into the future of automation opportunities, continually looking to new methods and technology which we can utilise to deliver the best possible solution package.
Fuelling Global Innovation With global clients such as Ford, Unilever and BMW, Reeco is very much at the forefront of the automation off ering, aiming to innovate in parallel with new technology which enters the market. With a dedicated R&D facility in our most recent expansion, we aim to use this space to test new technology and develop new automation solutions which can be delivered to provide real world value.

Connecting the Shop Floor to the top Floor As robots follow predefi ned paths, repeatability isn’t a moving target. This is a benefi t we’ve come to expect from robots, however Industry 4.0 and new technology have allowed us to begin tracking data, a commodity which is now considered the most valuable to the modern manufacturer – data allows us to track performance and uncover areas of potential improvement. Communication is central to data, and not only are we now able to connect the shop fl oor to the top fl oor, but machines and smart systems are developing in a way that diagnosis, logging issues and fi xes are becoming autonomous in themselves.
