Collaborative Robot Safety Standards Take Center Stage at IRSC October 15

The International Robot Safety Conference (IRSC) is North America’s leading robot safety conference where attendees can learn every aspect of safety related to robots, including collaborative robot safety. This year, the conference will be held at the JW Marriott Indianapolis on October 15-17, 2019. The conference is hosted by the Association for Advancing Automation and the Robotic Industries Association.

Robot sales are at an all-time high and robot safety is critically important to automation planning. The goal of the IRSC is to provide tools and knowledge that keep people safe when working with collaborative robots. 

Why Attend the International Robot Safety Conference?

The IRSC offers attendees the most current safety insights and connections needed to develop winning safety strategies to keep a competitive edge. Those who attend will benefit from learning what’s new in robot safety. They’ll connect with safety professionals and leaders in automation, and they’ll expand their knowledge and understanding of the latest trends in robot safety.
