Compared to traditional manual marking methods, Mapro offers superior precision, reduces work time, and lowers costs.
Notably, it alleviates the burden of nighttime labor, addressing workforce shortages and reducing worker fatigue, thereby improving overall working conditions. Additionally, the robot dramatically reduces the margin of error from the conventional 50–100 cm range to just ±0.5 cm, significantly enhancing work quality. As exhibitions continue to scale up, Mapro’s role is expected to become increasingly vital.
