Robotics Alley, PaR Systems Partner on Manufacturing & Assembly Track
The producers of the 2014 Robotics Alley Conference & Expo turned to automation provider PaR Systems to help develop content for a Manufacturing & Assembly Track.
This year, to highlight innovative uses of automation in todays manufacturing and assembly industries, the producers the Robotics Alley Conference & Expo turned to automation provider PaR Systems to help develop a track specifically on that topic.
The Manufacturing & Assembly Track will include five presentations that highlight ways industrial robotics have evolved in recent years.
Presentations include:
*Advanced Applications of Industrial Robotics, Including Human Collaboration
*Stuart C. Shepherd, CEO Americas - KUKA Robot Group, KUKA Robotics Corporation
*Expanded Use of Robotics in the Production of Critical Components
*Scott Voldness, Director, Engineer - Facilities & Equipment, ATK Aerospace Systems
*Lowering the Cost of Robotics Through Advanced Technology and Software
*Dr. Khalid Sorensen, Control Systems Engineer, CAMotions
These sessions represent a sampling of the more than 30 breakouts attendees will have access to at this years two-day event. Other tracks cover topics including health care, transportation, agriculture, security and defense, and more.
The 2014 Robotics Alley Conference & Expo takes place Sept. 16-17, 2014, at the Minneapolis Marriott Northwest. Visit http://www.roboticsalley.org/ for more information about the event and to register.
