Robotics and automation solutions highlighted at MTC

The Open Lab robotics and automation networking forum at the MTC on Wednesday, September 18 is aimed at decision makers and end users who appreciate the need for robotics and automation but are unsure of the best equipment to use, how to integrate it into their production lines, or how to measure the benefits.

End users, technology providers and suppliers are invited to the event, held under the auspices of the European-funded ROBOTT-NET project, of which the MTC is a partner, which aims to encourage the use of robotics and automation in industry. It is the fifth in a series of events at the MTC.

Jeremy Hadall, chief engineer for intelligent automation at the MTC, says the event is a great opportunity to share successful case studies and network with technology providers and engineers who have been on their own automation journey.

He said: "This is a networking forum which will allow delegates to explore ground-breaking and innovative industrial robotics and understand how they can benefit manufacturing operations. With experts on hand, round-table discussions and case study exhibits we will be able to highlight successful projects which have reaped the benefits of intelligent automation, and help people make the right decisions. It's all about technology transfer and the sharing of best practice."
