Insight into Automation & Robotics for Manufacturing

Join us at our Insight into Automation & Robotics for Manufacturing event on 26th November 2019 to discover how these technologies can benefit manufacturers in the UK.

About the Event

After a successful event earlier in the year, Intelligent Automation Dissemination Day, we are delighted to be hosting another event on 26th November 2019. We have also partnered with ROBOTT-NET for the event so that you can hear more about the project before it is completed at the end of this year. At this event, you will gain an insight into the cutting edge technology and how it can be applied to drive the productivity forward for UK manufacturers.

During the day, we'll have speakers from a range of sectors highlighting how automation and robotics have transformed their businesses and how the technology developed at the MTC can be implemented. There will be a range of presentations and breakout sessions, where delegates will hear about the latest technologies and collaborative forums. Delegates will also get the chance to see the latest robotics equipment in action in our state-of-the-art facilities.

Why Attend?
