What can robotics achieve for SME Manufacturers?

There is a proven case for the utilization of robotics within industry. Production pressures continue to squeeze manufacturers, as they grapple with challenges such as skills shortages, transient labour, competition and an ever-increasing demand for products.

Though as robot technology continues to come to the fore across industry, how are those technologies intended for use in environments such as food production being adopted, and how can SME’s and those businesses who might have not had any exposure to robotics take their first steps towards process automation?

KUKA will be sharing advice to manufacturers with real examples from their extensive experience working with manufacturers, including;

• What types of robot to use and where to use them;
• How to de-risk
• Using simulations
• & perhaps most importantly, how to build ROI cases for pitching to secure investment and buy-in across the business

Delegates can also get a taste for how virtual reality and simulation can be used to programme robotics offline before putting it into place on the factory floor.
