If you want to act sustainably, you need one thing above all: knowledge! This applies on a small scale at home and at work just as much as on a large scale for services in the factory. To raise awareness of the issue, the Leadec team from the UK launched "Green Week". 

Sustainability in the food and beverage industry has long since ceased to be a trend.

Environmental protection starts on a small scale, but industrial companies have a major lever to counter climate change. In order to fulfill this role, Leadec has once again sharpened its environmental goals.

For decades, it has been impossible to imagine production without robot colleagues. They reduce the workload for humans, provide support and automation, and thus enable higher productivity. But the thoughts go further, towards a real human-robot collaboration (HRC). Without a safety fence, with a lot of proximity and still safe.
