“Global Warming” and worldwide discussions about the carbon dioxide footprint, have brought production methods into sharp focus. Energy-efficient robot systems will not only reduce energy costs in a production plant, but also drastically reduce carbon-dioxide emission. In addition, they will also help to reduce investment costs and the life-cycle costs of production plants. 
The Webinar discussed:
- Lightweight robot design
- Reduction in energy consumption via energy saving robot systems
- Consumption forecast simulation
- The consumption-flexible plant
