The global automotive supplier HELLA is continuing to drive forward its global automation initiative. That is why the company is investing a figure in the high two-digit millions (Euros) to further automate the 15 production sites in its global lighting division. Most notably, this involves implementing collaborative robots (cobots) and artificial intelligence methods. The project is scheduled to run for a total of five years. There will be 1,000 cobots used in total worldwide, roughly half of which are already in use.
