Designed and styled in-house at TAL Manufacturing and Tata Elxsi respectively, Tata AutoComp manufactured some of the critical components of the robot. Conceptualised to complement human workforce and perform repetitive, high volume, dangerous and time consuming tasks, the TAL Brabo robot, can be deployed across industries.

Having successfully tested the TAL Brabo in over 50 customer work streams so far, TAL Manufacturing is ready to supply these robots to several sectors including automotive, light engineering, precision machining, electronics, software testing, plastics, logistics, education, aerospace and engineering among others, simplifying industrial manufacturing, improving quality and productivity.

Speaking at the launch, R S Thakur, Non-Executive Director and Chairman, TAL Manufacturing Solutions Ltd, said, “With the TAL Brabo, we have taken a quantum leap in revolutionizing industrial manufacturing in India. It is clearly a positive outcome from a well thought out “vision” and a meticulously planned and executed “task”, a result of focused innovation, targeted primarily at micro, small and medium enterprises, where not only large but businesses of all sizes can upgrade their operations by deploying robots, complementing their respective work forces. We call it ‘Robolution’, because of its power to revolutionise industrial manufacturing and with the TAL Brabo, we welcome our customers to join us on this journey.”

The company has also announced a new partnership with R.T.A Motion Control Systems, a leading Italian based group, for critical components in the TAL Brabo robot. “As we move forward, we will further collaborate with R.T.A Motion Control Systems to further indigenize the TAL Braborobot and churn out newer variants and applications for various applications across industries,” Thakur said.
