 How Robots Help American Companies Compete in a Global Economy - Free Webinar

Considerations for business strategy are covered in an examination of automation opportunities that can allow American companies to be more competitive in the global marketplace. Perspective comes from executives at real-world user and supplier companies who understand the challenges faced by small and medium businesses. If you think robots and automation take jobs away, you need to hear how one small business increased business, saved jobs and even increased head count in the last two years after installing robots and automation to compete against cheap labor in China and elsewhere. Learn from the experiences of those who found out what works (and doesn’t) when it comes to using robots to compete in the global marketplace.
