Summary
Between labor shortages, rising operational costs, and increasing quality expectations, automation is no longer a luxury. This webinar explores the transformative journey from manual machine tending to fully automated, intelligent robotic systems.
Schneider Electric's robot whisperer Christine Bush, will unpack key trends driving automation in industrial environments, including workforce reduction, space optimization, and efficiency goals. Discover how robotic machine tending—loading and unloading parts into CNC machines and other equipment—is revolutionizing productivity, safety, and flexibility on the shop floor.
Through real-world examples and solution overviews, attendees will gain insights into:
- The core components and benefits of robotic machine tending
- Integrated secondary processes like inspection, labeling, and packaging
- ROI drivers and cost considerations
- Adaptable robotic solutions including cobots, SCARA, delta, Cartesian (Gantry),
and robot controls. - The role of digital twins and simulation in accelerating deployment
Whether you're just beginning your automation journey or looking to scale existing systems, this session will provide actionable strategies to move your operations from hands-on to hands-free.
