Description
To stay competitive, modern manufacturers have to streamline costs and keep their workers focused on the most important tasks. What if you could divert some of your factory’s more mundane duties, such as moving material inside a factory, to a cart that worked on its own?
Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) are helping Indiana manufacturers reduce costs and increase productivity. AMRs can transport raw materials, intermediary product, and finished goods across the factory floor and warehouse automatically.
In this two-hour event, you will learn what AMRs are, what they can do, and how they can be used to free up employees for more valuable work. We will discuss their safety features, capabilities, and limitations. We will also share how other companies have used them successfully to save time and become more efficient.
This event will feature a live demonstration where you will see how an AMR is able to move around obstacles automatically to deliver goods and materials.
Join us and learn how to begin your journey in robotics with the help of Purdue MEP and our network of robotics experts.
Intended audience:
Business Owners and Plant Managers wanting to improve operational reliability and better utilize employee time.
