Applied Integration partner with UK MiR robot and UR collaborative robot supplier RARUK

Applied Integration, a leading UK Logistics technology Integrator, mission critical controls developer and Industry 4.0 specialist today announced its partnership with UK MiR Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) and UR Collaborative robot distributor RARUK Automation. 

The partnership is part of Applied Integration’s strategy of combining proven rigorous systems engineering expertise with carefully selected best in class automation technologies. An approach that will enable customers to manage the Industry 4.0 (and beyond) digital transformation, while ensuring minimal adoption disruption, optimised ROI, future proofed investments and development of world class logistics and manufacturing processes through effective technology adoption.

Logistic and manufacturing operations are faced with many challenges; labour sourcing, emerging technologies, increasing customer expectations, operating costs and fast changing demands and trends. Often more products, suppliers and increasingly complex distribution channels are required to meet demands and client expectation. Effective and appropriate technology integration provides the solution, but many organisations struggle with technology selection, implementation, integration, life cycle support and future proofing.

The collaboration between Applied Integration, RARUK Automation and its technology partners will simplify and streamline process improvements and ensure efficient, agile and cost-effective processes that achieve operational KPIs and protect the future.

Under this new strategic partnership, Applied Integration will act as a reseller and expert technology integrator for MiR AMRs and UR Collaborative Robots. Customers will benefit from Applied Integration’s industry process knowledge, rigorous development processes, technology expertise and more than 20 years’ experience in supplying and maintaining safety and mission critical process solutions combined with class leading AMR and Collaborative Robot technologies that MiR and RARUK Automation offer.

“Our partnerships are all about collaboration, process alignment and implementation of appropriate requirement solutions” stated Garry Lofthouse CEO of Applied Integration. “As with our existing strategic technology partnerships, our role is to focus on our customer processes and engineer a solution that delivers on process improvement goals. MiR and UR offer proven, robust, and highly configurable technology portfolios that can be engineered to align with a wide range of customer application needs. This means we can ensure a seamless integration with a wide range of existing operations and deliver on promised productivity and ROI goals”.

“When we introduce MiR or Universal Robots as a product to a company it soon becomes evident if the company will need a fully integrated solution or not”, says Ross Lacy, RARUK Mobile Robot Product Manager. “To deliver a fully integrated solution with MiR or Universal Robots it is vitally important that we work with trusted partners throughout the UK that have the capabilities of bringing a solution together that the customer can be proud of such as Applied Integration”.
