A question we\u2019ve been hearing more frequently is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Will the Granta cobot palletiser system become obsolete under the new robot safety regulations?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The short answer is: No. The Granta cobot palletising system remains a compliant, future-ready solution designed with evolving safety standards in mind.&nbsp; Here\u2019s why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ISO 10218-2:2025 \u2013 What\u2019s Changing?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2025 update to ISO 10218-2 is designed to consolidate robot safety requirements across traditional industrial robots and collaborative applications. Rather than separating cobots under a standalone standard (like ISO\/TS 15066:2016), the new framework brings everything together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Key changes include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Treating \u201ccollaborative operation\u201d as a method of use rather than a robot type.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Emphasising the importance of application-specific risk assessments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Integrating force and speed limits from previous cobot standards into a unified document.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Encouraging flexibility in using either traditional robots or cobots\u2014so long as the system is safe for human interaction.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This doesn\u2019t phase out cobots\u2014it simply means collaborative safety is no longer confined to cobot-labelled machines. Now, any robot used in a collaborative way must be safely integrated and assessed appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What Does This Mean for Your Investment in a Granta Cobot System?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Granta Automation, we\u2019ve designed our cobot palletiser system from the ground up to be safe, adaptable, and compliant with current and anticipated standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s how our system meets the mark:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Built-In Safety: Our cobots feature force and power limiting, allowing them to safely operate alongside people\u2014exactly what ISO 10218-2:2025 supports.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Future-Proof Design: The system is engineered around risk-based design principles, which continue to be the foundation of the new standard.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Flexible Operation: Whether you require full collaboration or partial segregation, our system adapts to your layout and process needs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ongoing Support: As the UK\u2019s leading cobot palletiser integrator, we continuously update and support our systems to meet all relevant regulatory requirements\u2014even as standards evolve.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Will You Need to Replace or Upgrade the System?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Absolutely not. The Granta cobot palletiser is already aligned with the key principles of the new standard. We closely follow standard updates and ensure all systems remain compliant with any future developments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Granta cobot palletising system is a strong, future-proof investment\u2014fully capable of meeting the requirements of ISO 10218-2:2025 and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re planning to automate palletising in your facility and want a safe, flexible system that won\u2019t become outdated with changing regulations, our cobot solution remains one of the most forward-thinking options available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have further questions?
