Robot Safety Awareness
A new robot safety standard is set to take effect in 2011. Manufacturers have already started producing robots that are compliant. Users and integrators now must consider guidelines that are harmonized with ISO. For more than a decade, OSHA has referred to the ANSI/RIA R15.06-1999 Robot Safety Standard but times change and so has the standard. This webinar gives you a chance to hear about the changes directly from RIA before they go into effect. Additional training is offered by RIA at the 22nd annual National Robot Safety Conference (September 27-29, 2010, Indianapolis, IN), which previews the R15.06 (2011) Robot Safety Standard Draft in more detail.
How Robots Help American Companies Compete in a Global Economy
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 haven’t met Drew Greenblatt, President of Marlin Steel Wire (Baltimore, MD), where jobs were saved, head count increased and profits soared 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.
Career Opportunities in Robotics
Find out how to advance a career where engineering meets robotics, including business, military and consumer applications. Robotic Industries Association members comprise a panel that addresses career options from university and research work to cutting edge applications in industry and beyond. Engineers, faculty and others interested in engineering career development will discover exciting robotic opportunities in education and research, industry, simulation and emerging mobile applications presented during this webinar.
Food Robotics
Industry and regulatory issues are examined where robotics are used or can be used in food applications. Robotic Industries Association members and a guest from the USDA comprise a panel that will look at guidelines for sanitary design and implementation of robotics in various phases of food processing. From raw material handling to the end of the line and even into the delivery truck – robots with a proven track record for safety and reliability are ready to help.
