Fourth Annual Robotics Alley Conference & Expo Highlights Nine Robotics Seminar Tracks

Robotics Alley is an initiative to spur public-private partnerships in the business, research, and development of robotics and automation systems. Robotics leaders from multiple industries will share their insights into the present and future of robotics and autonomous systems on September 16-17, 2014, at the Robotics Alley Conference & Expo.

Minneapolis, Minnesota August 14, 2014


Global leaders in robotics research, design, business development, investment, law and policy will gather at the Minneapolis Marriott Northwest on September 16-17, 2014, to share their insights into the worldwide explosion of robotics and autonomous systems at the Fourth Annual Robotics Alley Conference & Expo. New to this years conference are virtual business tours, which will take place on September 18. Note: Early-bird registration pricing ends Friday, August 15.

The 2014 Robotics Alley Conference & Expo will include nine seminar tracks: Agriculture & Natural Resources; Health Care & Medical Device; Manufacturing & Assembly; Transportation; Security & Defense; Retail & Commercial Applications; Research & Development; Legal, Business & Investment; and Engineering.

These tracks will give attendees the chance to learn how robotics is transforming these industries now and into the future. Attendees will also have networking opportunities with leading robotics companies, industry organizations and universities.

During the conference, there will be more than 30 sessions in total. Attendees will have the opportunity bounce between tracks, learning about a variety of industries, or stick to a single topic throughout the conference.

The ERT150 - Dorner's Next Evolution of Edge Roller Technology Conveyors

The next evolution in Dorner's Edge Roller Technology conveyor platform, the ERT®150, is ideal for small and light-load assembly automation, as well as medical and medical-device assembly application. The ERT platform is the only pallet conveyor of its kind available with an ISO Standard Class 4 rating for cleanroom applications. Earning the ISO Standard 14644-1 Class 4 rating means Dorner's ERT150 will conform and not contribute to the contamination of cleanrooms to those standards. As implied by its name, the ERT150 (Edge Roller Technology) uses rollers to move pallets through the conveyor smoothly with no friction (a byproduct often seen in belt-driven platforms). The conveyor's open design eliminates concerns of small parts or screws dropping into rollers and causing conveyor damage or jamming. The ERT150 is suited to operate in cleanroom environments requiring a pallet handling conveyor. It is capable of zoning for no or low-back pressure accumulation and is ideal for automation assembly applications within industries including medical devices, electronics, consumer goods among others.
