Codian Robotics supplies high speed pick & place robots that do not run on a dedicated robot control system. The servo motors are mounted on the robot's frame and all other moving parts have a lightweight construction. This allows the robot to be dynamic and fast. Codian robots use the control system of the customer, eliminating the need for a duplicate control system. Through this unique feature, we meet the needs of a growing demand from the market, to have one integral control system in the packing line. In turn, purchase price, maintenance costs and physical space are saved. Codian robots are specifically suited for the packaging industry as well as for the food and pharmaceutical industry. The Codian robots have existed since 2002 and were built by a manufacturer of robot lines. There are over 1000 robots world-wide in use. On June 1, 2011, Codian Robotics was established as an independent company.

Microfactories Bright Machines Microfactories are comprised of integrated elements that together provide a modern, AI-powered approach to automating the assembly stage on a production line. Brightware? cloud-based software for design, simulation, and deployment of the configuration and instructions used to setup, reconfigure and run any number of physical production lines for assembly.
