RMT Robotics Presents "The Case for Robotics" at 2012 National Beer Wholesalers Association's Annual Convention
Tom Pollard presents with commentary from former director of information technologies, Brewers Distributor Ltd. Tuesday, Oct. 16, 2012
Grimsby, Ontario, Canada (August 14, 2012) - RMT Robotics® (www.rmtrobotics.com), a Cimcorp Oy company, is pleased to present "The Case for Robotics: A First Look the 2012 Automation of One of North America's Largest Beer Distribution Centers" at the National Beer Wholesalers Association's (NBWA) Annual Convention at 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 16, 2012 in San Diego, Calif.
Tom Pollard, P. Eng., application engineer, Automated Warehousing Systems, RMT Robotics, will be speaking with commentary from the former director of information technologies, Brewers Distributor Ltd. (BDL). The seminar presents an in-depth look at the groundbreaking automation, including the decision-making process, the pros and cons of implementation, the justification and the extended factors that drove the automation of one of North America's largest beer distribution centers.
"We are looking forward to presenting one of this year's NBWA educational seminars," said Pollard. "It's an excellent opportunity to inform beer distributors about how robotic gantry systems can improve their distribution facilities and to discuss our latest installation."
RMT Robotics will have a booth at the convention. RMT representatives will be available to discuss their robotic gantry case and layer picking solutions as well as new designs for affordable solutions for smaller distribution centers. Visit RMT Robotics at Booth #511 where they will also be displaying a video of the automation at BDL.
The NBWA 75th Annual Convention takes place Oct. 14-17, 2012 at the Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego.

TUV Rheinland Robot Integrator Program
The industry's first comprehensive Robot Integrator Program saves robot integrators significant time and cost investments by allowing them to mark each cell compliant with ANSI/RIA R15.06 with the TUV Rheinland Mark. As opposed to a traditional certification or an on-site field labeling, TÃœV Rheinland's Robot Integrator Program certifies the knowledge and skill-set of robot integrators in addition to testing robotic cells and processes against ANSI/RIA R15.06. This reduces the need for frequent onsite or off site testing and allows manufacturers to apply a single TÃœV Rheinland label to multiple cells. The Robot Integrator Program individually assesses a robot integrator's understanding of the ANSI/RIA R15.06 standard along with the ability to consistently produce compliant robot cells. Following the requirements and procedures of the new program will enable robot integrators to produce individually compliant robotic cells under one serialized TÃœV Rheinland Mark, which meets the national electric code and allows acceptance by Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) and end users.
