Productive Robotics is an American manufacturer of collaborative robots that spun off of a printing company called ZBE. But whereas ZBE — one of the premier manufacturers of digital photo printers in the world — offshored production of its machines to China, the goal of Productive Robotics was to produce its robots in the United States. Making this a reality took years of design experimentation and searching for the right American suppliers — suppliers that utilize the kind of automation that Productive Robotics itself aims to offer.
