Robotization in practice – analysis of feasibility of robotization, decision-making process and practical application examples
Come to AIRE’s practical robotization training and raise your company’s digitalization level! The training will take place on 14.-15.03.23. In the two-day practical course, small and medium-sized industrial companies are introduced to the feasibility analysis, implementation and decision-making process of robotization. We share some useful advice:
- how to analyze the feasibility of robotization in your company;
- the possibilities of using robots in industry, for example ABB;
- on improving the use of a robotic workplace by means of robot bending;
- the application of modern technologies in the robotization of workplaces;
- how to choose robots suitable for work tasks, etc.
- New trends, development trends and practical examples are shared by experts in the field:
Jüri Riives from the Technology Development Center IMECC, Kristo Vaher from Tallinn University of Technology, Tõnis Raamets from Tallinn University of Technology and Linas Zukauskas and Vadims Ščeglovs from ABB.
The company does not have to pay for participating in the training, but it can be treated as a minor aid (VTA) in the amount of €480 per participant.
