Pick & Place

Our automation systems keep your CNCs, moulding, or cutting machines running smoothly with consistent loading and unloading, even during breaks and late shifts. With our smart pick and place solutions, increase output and decrease burnout.

Reduce downtime and bottlenecks Keep work flowing without adding pressure to your workforce.

Pack products cleanly and efficiently Drop items into boxes, trays, or bags with the same precision every time.

Move between jobs with ease Setup new tasks in minutes with simple, drag-and-drop programming.

Automate the repetition, not your workforce!

Loading machines. Packing products. Moving parts from A to B. It’s essential work, but it shouldn’t weigh down your skilled staff. Repetitive pick and place tasks drain time, energy and morale.

Collaborative robots are here to handle the picking so you don’t have to. Whether it’s machine tending, tray loading, packing, or part transfer, our cobot-based systems give you reliable, round-the-clock performance, without disrupting your workflow or your team.

High-mix production? Multiple product types? That's no problem for a cobot. Providing flexible automation for fast-changing environments, cobots adapt quickly, with short setup times and a large memory to store and recall existing programmes for faster setups.

Here to help, not replace your workforce, cobots take on the monotonous, high-volume movements, so your team can focus on the jobs that actually need their attention - like setup, quality checks, and keeping business running smoothly.

The whole team at Cobots Online, particularly Callum who installed all the machines, were really great to work with. They’re very positive, easily contactable and helped us overcome any challenges we encountered when installing the cobots.

Anthony Gough, Production Manager

We chose Cobots Online because they’re cost-effective and we get a lot of support off the team, either we can visit their site or give them a call and they’ll come down to support our team.

David Clark, Continuous Improvement Engineer

Cobots Online were very knowledgeable on the cobots that have been installed on-site. They were very helpful whenever we asked questions. They always made sure we understood what they was doing and why they were doing it. Equally they were very receptive to our thoughts and ideas. It was a pleasure to work with Cobots Online.

Kevin Higgins, Operations Support Manager at Masonite UK

Working with Cobot Online I found a positive collaboration between education & industry which proved to be instrumental in our procurement of industrial-standard robotics and training to support the students here at Darlington College.

Alan Jones, Curriculum Manager for Engineering

Just wanted to say how impressed I have been with Cobots Online these last few days. They have been very professional, helpful and a pleasure to work alongside. In 11 years of industry, it is not that often you come across someone so easy to work with. I've been very impressed with their knowledge and talent programming, and they've made the job look effortless.

Nicole Chamberlain, Automation and Digital Engineer

Cobots Online have supported ALM Engineering Solutions from the initial idea through to the implementation and commissioning stages. Their knowledge, training and on-going support after the installation have been excellent. The finished result does exactly as they’d promised.

Aaron Walford, Production Manager

I found Cobots Online to be approachable, direct and honest. This approach allowed us to meet our deadlines, within budget and to a high standard. Our expectations were fully met, with added value throughout our project timeline. Cobot Online has supported local skills development and we would not hesitate to recommend them.
