Smart Hub Lanarkshire events

These will showcase the capabilities of new robotics technologies and how these can be integrated in to different manufacturing environments. 

Our wider events programme, run in partnership with key manufacturing support agencies, will cover a broad range of subjects ranging from Culture & Leadership to Industry 4.0 & Digital Transformation to Investment in Smart Manufacturing.

These will help local SMEs to adapt, as well as strengthen trading capabilities and capacity.

Get Hands On With Collaborative Robots (Cobots)

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

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

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.
