Cobots on Tour! Have you ever considered how automation could benefit your operations but not been sure of where to start? If you’d like to learn more about the opportunities and challenges of automation, then join our industry experts at Universal Robots on the UK Cobot Automation Tour of 2019. The Automation Tour kicked off on February 12th in Oxford, but don’t worry if you missed the first stop – we’ll be popping up all over the UK with the cobots all the way into the summer. We’re excited to announce the locations for the upcoming events which will be taking place in Manchester, Newcastle, Birmingham, Edinburgh and finally Southampton, where the tour will end on the 11th July. By joining one of the stops of the Tour, you’ll get a chance to get all of your questions about robotics and automation answered by our leading industry experts. The participants at our first stop in Oxford were not only introduced to our leading UR collaborative robots, their capabilities and applications, but also got the chance to program and operate the cobots themselves and experience their ease-of- use first hand. We believe that automation really is for everybody. In order to demonstrate the wide variety of tasks that cobots can be programmed to carry out, a wide range of UR + partners, including Robotiq, SICK, and SKFRobotics, will also be exhibiting their automation solutions. This will provide visitors with the perfect opportunity to see and engage with a wide range of industry experts in one place. The next stop of the Tour will be in Manchester on 19th of March. Places are filling up quickly, so make sure to register your interest here to reserve your space.
