## Summary

The Dumfries and Galloway Council has issued a planning tender for the procurement of COBOT Conveyor Feed systems and motion safety detection in Dumfries, UK. This tender falls under the industry category of General Public Services. The procurement stage is in the planning phase with a deadline for future notice on October 14, 2022. The tender aims to showcase a demonstration production line suitable for small and medium engineering/production enterprises to scale up their business.

This tender opportunity presents businesses with the chance to provide fully automatic machine tools and demonstrate machine tending capabilities in an autonomous manufacturing environment. The tender is focused on creating a flexible showcase to inspire business growth in light production or demonstrative capacity. Businesses well-suited to compete include those able to offer high-quality, UKCA-approved systems with the capability to integrate with COBOTs for material loading and unloading, catering to the needs of small and medium engineering/production enterprises seeking to expand.

## Notice

In this particular instance, AIMS is looking for a demonstration production line, incorporating a high quality, fully automatic machine tool (for example 40t Press Brake, Horizontal Press or similar machine tool), complete with tooling and material storage equipment. The system should be compatible with Universal Robotics COBOTs (for example UR10e), or similar, to demonstrate machine tending capabilities in an autonomous manufacturing environment. COBOTs are not included in the scope of this tender (a sperate tender is published for COBOTs), but integration with the chosen COBOT's is essential. It is envisaged the system is fully automatic, UKCA approved, complete with tooling and 24month service and warranty contract and capable of being used in light production or in a demonstrative capacity. It must be capable of being integrated with COBOTs for material loading and unloading. This is a demonstration line, and not intended for full industrial production, but rather a flexible showcase, set up to inspire small and medium engineering / production enterprises to scale up their business.
