Who we are
GreenCobot srl was a startup founded on the decades of experience of its founders in the field of engineering and automation. The company specializes in research and development applied to specific customer projects: it designs and manufactures new robot models and application software. In particular, it develops and installs palletizing and product handling systems. Now, our startup phase has concluded, and we are an innovative company.
Research and technological development are our mission.
In addition to cutting-edge technological knowledge, the original company has also sent us the values that we intend to preserve and perpetuate as a modus operandi also in GreenCobot: a continuous and fruitful communication exchange with the customer, special attention to his needs , and an always dynamic and adaptable approach to any type of situation (our "green" approach).
These features allow us to always stay one step ahead, as well as providing 360-degree solutions and assistance.
GreenCobot has never considered spare parts a business and continues with this same line of thought: we always oversize the parts subject to mechanical stress in order to minimize interventions and breakages.
In addition to this, we have developed an augmented reality virtual assistance system and software for predictive maintenance, further reducing the physical interventions of technicians and the stops for extraordinary maintenance.
Thanks to these ways of working we are able to guarantee the best return on investment for our customers, benefiting us too in terms of work within the company.
The constant exchange of ideas and the synergy between team members allows us to always aim for important objectives to establish ourselves on the market as an innovative and competitive company.
As an innovative startup, in fact, we invest 15% of our turnover in research and experimentation.
Thanks to this, with our projects and products we can always be at the forefront of the sector, registering 1-2 patents every year.
For this reason, we are always ready to invest resources both in new projects and in new talented personalities in our reference sectors (engineering, robotics, mechanics, automation, programming, hygienic and process design).
We hope to grow and above all to grow our employees and collaborators step by step, cultivating their value and supporting their ideas.
Company history
In an increasingly 4.0 world, increasingly attentive to the environment and above all to the safety and well-being of those who work, GreenCobot aims to develop and market sustainable collaborative robots, in particular for the food sector. GreenCobot has specialized in the construction of machines and systems that include the whole end of line and in particular packaging.
2018: The founding partners begin to think about creating an innovative startup thanks to their growing desire to offer "green" machines and robots. The idea is to propose a range of smart products: economical in terms of space and consumption, adaptable to situations, but durable over time, with cutting-edge and high-performing materials.
2019: The challenge is accepted, and the first steps are taken to create GreenCobot. During the year, careful evaluations are carried out that include Italian and foreign legislative and bureaucratic aspects, after which the request to create the startup is forwarded to the competent authorities.
Weekends are used to rework a project for a SCARA palletizer, aiming to transform it significantly while updating it to the new 4.0 needs and the demand for sustainability. This is how an already very good and successful product, such as the SCARA-type palletizer, becomes a true excellence, thanks to the new carbon fiber arm, the inclusion of low-weight harmonic reducers, and the adoption of seals on the joints. This redesign significantly reduces the weight of the structures and the machine's consumption, in addition to making the arm washable with a water jet for better sanitization.
2020: GreenCobot officially becomes reality in March of this year, at a particularly critical moment due to the coronavirus. The lockdown does not stop the startup's progress and spirit of initiative, which thanks to a combined activity of smart working and work in compliance with the Ateco code manages to launch a multifunctional thermoscanner device on the market as an immediate response to the pandemic crisis.
In the spring months GreenCobot continues to be extremely responsive and dedicates itself to the media and communication aspects: the graphics, the new website, the promotional content of the products. The new KR palletizer is perfected and enriched with new gripping accessories with a clean design, with attention to accident prevention. The new KR robot is then advertised, as is the new GreenAnalysis software.
Between June and July there is the transfer to the new premises in Zanè, always in the province of Vicenza. GreenCobot obtains larger and more functional spaces, which include a workshop, offices and showrooms.
2021: GreenCobot begins a collaboration with JAKA Robotics.
2022: GreenCobot implements "multipurpose innovative automation" (MIA) units to create ready-made installations for JAKA cobots so that "pre-defined" automations can be created for food environments for palletizing and material handling operations.
2023: GreenCobot becomes a services partner of JAKA Robotics. At the same time, it renews the KR project by creating a Cobot (awaiting certification) called MiaKeeper for palletizing operations with a usable payload of up to 35 kg, excluding the weight of the gripping tool, thus with excellent lifting capabilities. The performance is completely similar to that of a traditional cobot, but with a higher payload. It can also function as a normal robot, increasing speed and performance. The maximum energy consumption is limited to 2500 watts, but in a normal work cycle, the average energy consumption is around 600 watts/hour, achieving the energy saving goals also indicated by the energy transition desired by the EU commission in recent years. MiaKeeper is made of AISI 304 Stainless Steel. It uses Ethercat and Opc Ua technology.
2024: GreenCobot begins to develop automations with SCARA robots for material handling in food environments, establishing a partnership with a well-known manufacturer. It begins to offer collaborative robots with a payload greater than 18 kg and a reach of 1800 mm.
