Industrial robots have transformed manufacturing companies across every industry, helping to increase quality and efficiency while decrease costs. But the threat of unplanned downtime caused by robotic failure is a challenge for factories looking to enhance levels of automation. A single minute of interruption can cost an automotive manufacturer roughly US$ 22,000*.
Castrol has a proven track record of developing high-tech, high-quality lubricants for industrial environments. It’s why NASA chose our lubricants and greases for its US$ 820 million InSight Mars Lander mission and Curiosity Rover.
