About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

What to expect from this event?

Are you a manufacturing SME considering a move from manual to automated processes in a factory or production setting?

Has Robotics always seemed out of reach from a cost and capacity perspective?

Then it could be time to think (and look) again.

Smart Hub Lanarkshire is helping manufacturing SMEs to explore Collaborative Robots (Cobots).

And it’s not just about the theory but much more about the practice.

We invite manufacturing SMEs to participate in an interactive Cobot demonstration and learning session.

This will enable attendees to see Cobots in both an integrated (mini factory) and free-standing form.

Attendees will be able to:

• Observe Cobots operating up close

• Have a go at basic programming and understand Cobot task capabilities

• Learn all about the multiple applications for Cobots in different manufacturing settings

(pick & place, machine tending, palletising, welding and more)

• Understand the costs and Return on Investment (ROI) potential

Our sessions operate on a small group basis (maximum 8 attendees) to ensure a quality user experience.

We look forward to welcoming you along to Smart Hub Lanarkshire.

Organised by

Smart Hub Lanarkshire

Smart Hub Lanarkshire is based at New College Lanarkshire, within the Motherwell Campus.

The Hub includes:

  • A Robotics demonstration facility with six-axis robotic arms with adaptive grippers, controllers and polyscope software.
  • Hub space for manufacturing companies to meet, learn, access industry-specific business support, academic and partner agency. expertise

A key objective of the Hub is to help SMEs to modernise, digitise and automate to improve efficiency, boost productivity and grow.

The Hub also provide Robotics learning opportunities for school pupils to encourage interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, as potential career options. If you are a local school that would like to participate in the Hub programme, please contact us to find out more.
