SME Northern Lights Chapter 370 proudly presents . . . .

Why Robotics?

Presented by Wayne Spooner, Eastern and Western Regional Sales Manager, Yaskawa Motoman Canada

(website: www.motoman.com)

Motoman provides robotic automation solutions to welding, assembly, clean room, coating, dispensing, cutting, material handling, packaging and many other applications in manufacturing. Wayne will illustrate a broad range of robotic automation installations.Wayne is currently helping an Edmonton area manufacturer install its second robotic system. Robotics are used in manufacturing for many reasons, not the least of which is a shortage of manpower.

The following questions will be addressed:

  • Why automate?
  • How do you know you are a candidate for robotic automation?
