INTENSIVE COURSE: Practical use of collaborative robots in industry

Course content

Shaping performance is important for every business. Today’s technological developments are extremely rapid, which makes it more difficult to make the right decisions. The need to increase productivity, flexibility and at the same time to be resource efficient has led to the rapid and large-scale emergence of collaborative robots (cobots) in manufacturing.

The objective of this training is to introduce the practical use of collaborative robots, or cobots, in the realization of various tasks in the company. During the training, practical collaborative robot programming examples in the fields of machine tending and assembly will be carried out. During the training there will be introduced how to set up and use a workplace equipped with a collaborative robot and how to program the cobot to perform a given task. During the training, practical examples are presented based on various companies.

Target audience

Participation is primarily open to small and meedium-sized manufacturing companies (EMTAK C). The course is primarily aimed at development managers, development engineers, technology engineers, production managers, robotization technicians, and foremen of manufacturing companies.

The gateway to AIRE’s services is the company’s Digital Maturity Assessment (DMA) consulting service, which helps map your company’s strengths, bottlenecks and their impact on your business. For the first time, or if more than 1 year has passed since the previous digital maturity assessment, the AIRE target company will receive a DMA consultancy service from IMECC OÜ at a de minimis rate (€600) when registering for the training. After enrolment, the company will have access to the digital maturity assessment environment.

Pre-registration is essential for the training. The grant for participation in the training will be treated as de minimis aid (de minimis aid) for companies, amounting to €480 per participant.

By registering for the training, the company confirms the permission to use the VTA balance for participation, which is registered in the register of state aid to companies as a co-financed participation fee in the “AI & Robotics Estonia (EDIH)” project.
