[Collaborative Robot Implementation Case] A case study of the introduction of collaborative robots by Osakaringyo Co., Ltd., which has been producing and providing seedlings for 70 years in Tokachi, Hokkaido.

"Introduction of Robots in Seedling Cultivation Process Achieves Significant Labor Savings"
Overview:
Osaka Forestry Co., Ltd., which has been producing and supplying seedlings in Tokachi, Hokkaido for 70 years, has successfully automated part of the seedling cultivation process that was traditionally reliant on manual labor. Amidst difficulties in securing workers due to aging, significant labor savings have been achieved.
Challenges:
There is a high dependence on skilled workers, and with the aging workforce, there are concerns about future labor shortages, as humans need to work right next to the robots.
After Implementation:
UR robots were introduced in the first step of seedling production, which involves placing containers onto a conveyor belt, allowing one person to perform a task that previously required two.
