1 min read

ABB will be demonstrating how robots can help UK SME manufacturers to become more productive and competitive at its forthcoming ‘Switch to Robots’ seminar. Taking place at ABB’s Milton Keynes site on Wednesday 17 October, the event will provide a simple step-by-step guide to introducing robot automation to the factory floor.

The seminar will offer guidance on the key issues around specifying, installing and operating a robot, including how to assess which processes can be automated and how to develop the right solution. Other topics covered will include how to calculate the potential return on investment that can be achieved in different types of applications.

There will also be a hands-on workshop session in ABB’s training centre, providing the opportunity to see and use some of the latest robot technology, including ABB’s RobotStudio offline programming software, which helps to reduce the time and cost of setting up a robot system by enabling robot cells to be modelled and tested offline.

“UK manufacturers are struggling to keep pace with other leading nations that are able to quickly produce high-quality goods at low costs,” says Mike Wilson, general industry sales manager for ABB Robotics in the UK and Ireland. “For UK SMEs to remain competitive they must embrace digital technologies to increase their productivity. Our Switch to Robots event has been designed to help businesses identify whether a robot could be beneficial, and explain the steps they need to take in specifying and installing the best solution for their requirements.”
