Cobot Nation and SMC have entered a partnership to engineer and manufacture specialized components and end effectors for Cobot Nation’s collaborative robots. Products will target the specific needs of different vertical industries to enable new integration with robotic automation.

Cobot Nation is the only full-service-solution robotics automation company that goes directly to the customer and supports them globally. This includes solution development, engineering, manufacturing, installation, integration, service, and support. Cobot Nation will begin to utilize SMC Corporation of America for component and end effector manufacturing and distribution immediately. This allows Cobot Nation to further provide tailored solutions for its global customers with a combined engineering effort and strategic logistical stocking to support a quick-to-expand global market within both Cobot Nation and the automation industry as a whole.

Cobot Nation is now researching and developing solutions alongside SMC in engineering, engineer training, logistics, and support. Products will be marketed, branded, and directly supported under Cobot Nation. As the only company that engineers, manufactures, installs, and supports a large global customer base directly; Cobot Nation will be the first line of support in all of these aspects.
