Robotics Demo Lab: See Robots and Cobots in Action
9:30am - 12pm
A hands-on morning with RARUK Automation. See robots and cobots up close and picture what they could do for your manufacturing business.
Curious whether robots could work for your manufacturing business?
You are in good company if the idea feels a little daunting. There is plenty of hype out there, and it is hard to know what is realistic for a business like yours. That is exactly what this morning is for.
Join Made Smarter East Midlands and RARUK Automation for a relaxed, down-to-earth Demo Lab tour. See cobots and robots working up close, watch live demonstrations across real application areas, and put your questions to the engineers who program them every day. You will come away with a clearer sense of what is possible for your business, and a friendly steer on where to begin.
What you will get out of the morning…
• See how robots and cobots actually work, and where they could fit for you
• Get up close with live demonstrations across three demo labs
• Ask the practical questions, from choosing a robot to running and looking after it
• Find out how Made Smarter grants and fully funded advice can support your first step
