Cobots in Canada: a Canadian perspective on collaborative robots

Canada’s manufacturing community has many unique challenges. As an export nation we have to be what our customers need: from high and medium volumes, to high mix and low volumes. We have to be innovative and flexible in our approaches to manufacturing, costing, quality and delivery. Capital investment in automation is a critical conversation, especially post-COVID, where attracting, securing and retaining skilled personnel is one of Canada’s looming labour challenges.

Join us for this cross-Canada webinar series where we will showcase use cases, distributors, integrators and end users of collaborative robots. “Cobots” are the fastest growing segment in automation, and considering their lower cost and quicker deployment compared to traditional robots, it’s easy to understand why. Our first webinar is tailored to audiences in Western Canada, but everyone is welcome to attend.

What you will learn:
- What is collaborative automation and why should manufacturers consider it?
- How to plan for success in collaborative robots
- Use cases: Who is doing what with cobots in Canada?
- The ROI of using cobots to automate repetitive tasks: quality, cost savings and bottom line results.
