A gust blog post from Robotiq.

Most manufacturing companies out there are dealing with the same issues: Hiring and retaining a qualified workforce, increasing their production rate, increasing their quality, and reducing their production costs. All these factors can be improved dramatically with automation and robots.

At Robotiq, we keep seeing the same challenges from first-time robotics project managers: how to choose what to automate first? What to say to the factory workers to explain the arrival of the robot? How to convince management that this is the way to go?

While rationally it’s easy to see that automation and robotics is the way to go, as a small company with limited resources, it can be difficult to see where to start. Robotiq’s way is to start small, get going today and build on past successes.

Here is where this educational series comes in. We built the series as an email subscription to arrive in your inbox once a week, so you have time to think about it between steps. It’s a very practical approach, with templates and plenty of resources to support you on your first robotic project.
