Join Universal Robots and Control Engineering for a five-part series about robotics. This series will include one eBook and four on-demand webcasts focused around topics such as demystifying offline robot programming, industrial robot specification best practices, and how collaborative robots can be applied to new applications, such as welding.
Part 1: Robotics eBook
Robotics are one of the fastest-growing industries and their impact can be felt on many manufacturing floors. There’s more to the robot, however, than what you see on the plant floor. This helpful eBook from Universal Robots and Control Engineering includes articles on demystifying offline robot programming, industrial robot safety, and more.

Part 2: Develop an industrial robotic specification by using this checklist
Robots do more than help with dull, dirty, and dangerous applications; they are helping manufacturers be more competitive. Robots have become more versatile; easier to program, integrate and use; are increasing in varieties and capabilities; and can add quality and increase throughput in an increasing number of applications. Robotic system integrators will share expertise. Research on the topic will be reviewed.

Part 3: Collaborative Robots are now skilled welders, what’s next?
What can collaborative robots used in welding teach us about other collaborative robot applications? Traditional automation of welding has successfully helped an exclusive group of companies address labor shortages, variable cost overruns, difficult production targets and quality issues. What are the barriers of entry that these companies were able to overcome? What about those companies that cannot overcome these barriers? Is there a solution that delivers these same benefits and more to companies that could never automate their welding in the past? We will answer these questions and more as we explore the collaborative robot in welding and the impact it is having on how companies are looking at welding automation now and into the future. A question-and-answer session will follow the presentation.

Part 4: The ROI of Collaborative Robots
In this webinar you will learn details on how collaborative robots, or cobots, can be deployed to achieve ROIs in a fraction of the time compared to traditional automation. Cobots are easy to program, lightweight and flexible, and safe to work around. This new class of robots are changing the game for automating what are traditionally very difficult tasks. Compelling reasons to explore automation with cobots include labor shortage, quality issues, increase in growth or production, and high mix/low volume challenges.
Our webinar will open with a general cobot overview then drill down into how this new class of robots – now the fastest growing segment in industrial automation – is used to increase businesses ROI. Through hands-on examples documented in case studies and video, this webinar will cover insightful deployments as well as specific application challenges and solutions.

Part 5: Plug-and-Play Peripherals for Collaborative Robots
In this webinar, Early Ewing, UR+ Product Manager for the Americas with Universal Robots will discuss the impact of Plug & Play peripherals on automation and how changes in manufacturing have driven this need. We will cover what constitutes “Plug & Play” and how this impacts the customer experience. Finally we will explain how Universal Robots facilitates the development of these products through the UR+ program as well as what UR+ certification means for our customers and channel partners.
