Open Innovation and co-creation is a strong part of our HUMANufacturing approach. Open Innovation allows us to take advantage of the ideas and energy from people outside our organization in order to generate disruptive innovations to products and solutions. Our Open Innovation model focuses on:
Easy to use solutions
Production architectures that are increasingly responsive to dynamic market demands, many of which require radical changes in terms of production topologies. Easy to use is a critical aspect of any product or solution Comau makes. This is what drove our Comau Human Machine Interface (HMI). It is also what drives our control engineers to design intuitive, easy to understand and easy to learn solutions that keep automation simple by hiding the innovative technologies and features that could be too intricate for the final user.
Added value manufacturing solutions blcked by advanced technologies
This innovation priority supports the development, refinement and implementation of a comprehensive set of enabling manufacturing technologies and innovative processes that facilitate flexibility, the use of advanced materials, the achievement of high performances in terms of quality and productivity (precision and zero-defect), efficiency in the use of energy and materials, and a drastic reduction of emissions.
Human robot collaboration
The focus of innovation activities under this innovation priority address symbiotic human-machine relations, which seek a deeper understanding of human behavior and go beyond conventional approaches.
