Vaibhav Boricha is an old friend of Geomiq having introduced us to the team at BMW & Rolls Royce and helping us get approved as a Tier 1 Supplier a few years ago. After leaving BMW Vaibhav formed VIKASO a Collaborative Robots (Cobots) integration specialist with a vision of accelerating Cobot deployment in the UK.

As the manufacturing industry currently faces huge challenges due to COVID-19, VIKASO has come up with a Virtual Strategy that is designed to allow manufacturing companies to continue evaluating and planning for automation. The idea being that with a small investment (e.g. £2500 for a low-complexity project), companies can see a detailed virtual concept of their automation requirements. This activity will contribute towards the final implementation, when companies are in a better position and decide to go ahead with the project. The target of this concept development offer is to validate the critical points for a Cobot application such as:

• Cycle time.
• Layout.
• Safety Concept.
• Process Concept.
• Mechanical Concept.
• Back-up Process (in case of breakdown).
