As an ABB Valued Provider, RMGroup will be using the workshop to update on the latest innovations, best practices and new technology solutions evolving in robotics and automation. There will be talks from leading industry experts, live demonstrations of applications utilising industrial and mobile robots (AMRs/AGV) including palletising, pick and place, material handling and storage operations, in addition to a myth-busting round table discussion and networking opportunities. Lunch and refreshments will also be provided.
As hosts, ABB Robotics will be taking the opportunity to provide delegates with a history of the company, the value they place on their longstanding 15-year partnership with RMGroup, and how its technology drives innovation and value for their customers every day. Being one of the world's leading robotics and machine automation suppliers, ABB will also provide an opportunity to tour its extensive product range.
Commenting on the event, RMGroup's managing director, Mark Tucker, said: "With robotics and automation becoming increasingly integrated into the workplace, it's more and more important to ensure that we have a collective understanding of the changing landscape in front of us and the opportunities that robotics and automation can provide. It's equally important that we challenge some of the misconceptions surrounding robotics and automation so that we are all conversant with the technology and its application."
Being the first integrator in the UK to be accredited under the A3/BARA Robot Integrators Certification Scheme, RMGroup supplies and manufactures a wide range of manual and automated packaging systems. These include robot palletising systems, pallet wrapping and material handling systems, as well as supplying a wide range of bagging solutions, weighing systems and high-speed form fill and seal packaging lines. Their ongoing partnership with ABB Robotics UK means that they can offer a fully automated solution for fulfilment, distribution and manufacturing kitting operations.
Featured Product
Nion: Next-level time-of-flight
The new Nion 3D camera advances Time-of-Flight (ToF) technology with exceptional resolution, speed, and industrial robustness. Designed for demanding applications such as logistics, warehousing, industrial automation, and robotics, Nion delivers high-resolution depth data with real-time performance for faster, safer, and more flexible operations. At its core is the 1.2-megapixel Time-of-Flight sensor AF0130 from onsemi's Hyperlux ID family, offering up to four times the resolution of conventional VGA-based ToF cameras and significantly higher data density. Active 940-nm laser illumination ensures accurate and stable measurements in low-light conditions, artificial lighting, and even direct sunlight. With an IP67-rated housing, Nion is built for reliable operation in dusty, wet, and thermally challenging industrial environments. A user-friendly API with IDS peak support and compliance with the GigE Vision standard enable fast integration and flexible deployment in high-resolution 3D applications. The Nion 3D camera is now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems.
