Use of flexible robotics in industrial manufacturing processes: ROBOTT-NET

Robotics is one of the competitiveness levers for companies, particularly in the case of the SMEs. Automating their processes requires flexible solutions that rapidly adapt to changes in their manufacturing orders, whereby efficiency and profitability are synonyms of modernisation in production processes.  

The ROBOTT-NET initiative shows the potential of new robotics in industrial manufacturing.

Contents

• We will address the technological tendencies in robotics in the field of manufacturing, delving into the technologies that enable their activities to be more flexible.
• We will analyse and break down the key aspects to introduce the automation of manufacturing processes in companies and the methodology for its implementation.
• We will reveal the keys for investment in process automation.
• We will discover how to increase the productivity of companies by replacing and upgrading manual processes with innovative mobile and flexible industrial robots. 

Aimed at

• Heads of production and other managers of manufacturing companies.
• Professionals from other fields who are interested in discovering and delving into the potential of new robotics and its use in manufacturing processes.
