Just because a robot is labeled “collaborative” doesn’t mean your application is. According to the new ISO 10218-2:2025 standard, true safety requires evaluating the 𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑟𝑒 𝑠𝑦𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑚—including the tooling, materials, workspace, and people involved.
At MWES, we’ve been designing collaborative (and conventional) robotic systems for decades—always putting 𝒔𝒂𝒇𝒆𝒕𝒚, 𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒈𝒚, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑹𝑶𝑰 first.
