…changes, it noted. Schneider Electric advances machine efficiency “The Lexium Cobot’s high efficiency – through simple programming, quick setup, ease of use, and training – helps industrial companies recover investment costs faster when they modernize their facilities to become smart factories,” said Schneider Electric. It touted the Lexium Cobot's lower cost of ownership, small footprint, and need for only minimal changes to existing production layouts. The new systems can also integrate with EcoStruxure, Schneider Electric’s Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled, “plug-and-play, open,” and interoperable architecture. The cobot and ExoStruxure can reduce design, development, and commissioning time, making machine delivery and startup…
