Powering robotics with solar energy
We are thrilled to announce another milestone in our sustainability journey: the installation of a cutting-edge photovoltaic system at our Vrbno factory in the Czech Republic. Featuring 1,088 panels and generating nearly 500 kWh at peak output, this advanced system will power the production of 470,000 robotic units annually - using solar energy alone.
By transitioning from purchasing renewable energy to producing it on-site, we are taking purposeful steps toward a low-carbon, resource-efficient future.
“We are committed to reducing absolute CO2 emissions throughout our entire value chain, from suppliers and operations to transportation and product use. The installation of a photovoltaic system at our Vrbno plant is a prime example of how we are minimizing our carbon footprint by generating renewable energy to power our operations.” says Kalvis Mihailovs Sustainability Director.
We are also pleased to announce that a similar project is underway at our Niederstotzingen plant in Germany.
