URG is expanding its CobiotX portfolio with the latest Cobiot for integrated workflows in the aforementioned segments. The modular platform fits seamlessly into the respective workflows and can be expanded with industry-standard accessories.

More safety and efficiency

uLink is designed to simplify operations and increase safety and efficiency in a variety of environments. The combination of features is intended to set new standards in the industry - from modular design and open API to 3D LiDAR-based navigation and real-time operational data visualization. uLink is equipped with IDE, SDK and fleet management tools and allows seamless integration and control of various components such as LiDARS, engines or sensors.

Thanks to its software functions for the configuration and management of robot applications, but also by means of sensors and corresponding accessories, the robot can easily handle various logistical challenges in retail and warehousing, which vary depending on the industry, company size and automation requirements. The uLink accessory interface is also modular, allowing the payload area to support a payload of up to 60 kg.

The SEER navigation control allows deliveries in a predefined area of up to 400,000 m². Using the plug-and-play mechanism, additional accessories such as a locker for click & collect or confidential deliveries, a pegboard for the delivery of tools and spare parts and trays for the transportation of stock can be integrated into the platform. In addition, partner integrators can develop new accessories to meet specific requirements.

"The retail and logistics sector has been undergoing profound change for years, linked to the growth of e-commerce, automation and the shortage of skilled workers in the value chain. Whether shelf replenishers or water spiders, i.e. those responsible for stock in warehouses or production: It is important to support the players and offer solutions that meet their specific needs," explains Thomas Linkenheil, Co-CEO of United Robotics Group. "In a highly competitive sector, consumers want a speedy and personalized service. Our new logistics solution enables service providers to offer timely customer service without long searches in the warehouse or tedious processes that can take time and impact customer business."

Open API for connectivity and flexibility

Like all CobiotX solutions from the United Robotics Group, uLink is also equipped with a user-friendly user interface. It is based on the no-code principle and enables users with no knowledge of robotics to quickly integrate it into their daily operations. In addition, uLink has an open API platform. This means that the solution can communicate with existing operating processes and other networked systems such as automatic doors or elevators and also work with other robots and automated guided vehicles such as AMRs and AGVs.

With the market launch of uLink, the United Robotics Group is expanding its range of robotics solutions for the logistics, warehouse management and industrial manufacturing sectors. The robot will be used in retail and logistics environments such as department stores, supermarkets, warehouses and fulfillment centers, as well as factories and production facilities, airports and healthcare facilities.
