I own a candy company in Tennessee. We (141) a variety of kinds of candy which are sold all over the USA and in other countries as well. As part of their work, my employees use heavy equipment and move large boxes every day. Sometimes they fall or hurt their backs. As a result, they (142) days of work. Everyone suffers from this situation.

These accidents cost my company a lot of money, and my employees suffer from health problems.

Rapid Technology's "cobots" may help. I understand that a "cobot" is like a robot. However, it is a robot that collaborates-or works with-people. So, you call it a "cobot." Is that correct？ I understand that people are (143) when they work with cobots. However, the article I read only discussed cobots at car companies. Could they also be used at a candy company？

We are very interested in cobots, but we are not sure if they would work here. What do you think？ Please reply via mail. Thank you.

Best wishes,
