    The MiR200 robot loops around Metro Plastic’s factory floor every 10 minutes, allowing operators to load finished products as soon as they fill a box. This has eliminated clutter and traffic on the floor, reduced the risk of injuries associated with forklift driving, and improved the efficiency of the company’s quality inspections and overall operations.
