“The robotics industry is extremely exciting due to the possibility of improving SMEs’ efficiency, productivity and the working environment. We can help improve companies’ competitive performance and thereby keep jobs, and through automation, we can improve the working environment”, says Erik Mønster, CEO at Smooth Robotics. Smooth Robotics was founded in 2017 and focuses on automating the welding process making software solutions for robots in a way that complicated programming is fully avoided. Thereby, the robot solution is more flexible and attractive for SMEs. ”We develop platforms for both cobots and industrial robots, so the welder easily and intuitively can transfer his professional welding skills to the robot. The robot becomes an active tool for the welder performing automative tasks, while the welder focuses on tasks by which he can create value”, says Erik Mønster.
