EXPLORING THE FUTURE OF ROBOTICS


With the UK’s manufacturing industry said to be falling behind the rest of the world when it comes to investing in robotic automation technology, Datateam Business Media has announced the launch of Future Robotics: a one-day event with a pioneering approach to the topic. Taking place on Tuesday 13 November in The


Slate, Warwick University, the venue is the perfect backdrop for an event that will provide a platform to explore the latest robotic automation products and solutions. With preconceptions about utilising robotic


automation rife in the UK’s manufacturing industry, Future Robotics will focus on practicalities. Whether it’s ‘What ROI can be expected?’, ‘Which sectors/processes are most suited?’ or ‘What type of robots are available?’, the conference will provide a true insight into the benefits and realities of using the technology for design, production, finishing, materials handling and more. Callum Blackwell, event director, said: “Future Robotics is about answering the big questions on the current climate and looking at where we need to be in the future.” The focused seminar programme will


feature the industry’s most important speakers – including presentations from the foremost robotics experts, manufacturers and suppliers sharing ‘real world’ case studies and building an informative picture of both the current and future markets. A table top exhibition space will also


showcase the latest products from leading brands and feature a live demonstration area; giving attendees an enjoyable and immersive experience of robotics innovation. Future Robotics has received the early


backing of the industry, with sponsors including Universal Robots and Pilz Automation, as well as partnerships with BARA, UKIVA and Robotics Update. Sponsoring or exhibiting at Future Robotics


is your opportunity to reach a highly-engaged and focused audience. Share your products with the market and align your brand with an event that is breaking new ground in the industry. To find out more about the bespoke


opportunities available, contact Callum Blackwell on 01622 699179 or email cblackwell@datateam.co.uk. www.futurerobotics.co.uk

RAISING THE BAR, AND USING IT TO QUASH MISCONCEPTIONS The Women in Engineering annual Top 50 Women in Engineering under 35


The theme for International Women in Engineering Day (INWED) 2018 is raising the bar. However, perhaps it's time to use this bar to quash a few misconceptions instead. Here, Emma Cygan, design and development engineer at steering system supplier Pailton Engineering, does just this. ‘Women are only good at soft skills’ – Stereotypical gender roles are


heavily debated, with some women reaching adulthood with an inbuilt, subconscious idea that they must find a career that uses their communication skills and empathy. The reality is, interaction skills aren't gender-exclusive and is something both women and men should strive for. That said, if you are particularly affluent in the soft skills department, don't suppress this quality. These skills are highly sought after by employers, as they are often required to enable the harder, more technical skills. ‘Women can’t reach top positions in engineering’ – From my experience,


this isn't the case. Women should be confident that they have the same potential for career progression as their male equivalents. So far in my career, I have progressed from an apprentice, to my current role as a design and development engineer. In the future, it will continue to be my skills that determine how quickly I will move up the job ladder, not my gender.


validates this point. Many of the women in this list are in senior and managerial roles, even at a relatively young age. There are, however, statistically more men at the top of the engineering industry, but that's inevitable, providing there are more men at the bottom. Initiatives like INWED will change this for the better and help more women see a career in engineering as a viable and rewarding option. ‘Women aren't supported by their employers’ –Wrong again. At Pailton


Engineering, I am currently being sponsored to study for an engineering bachelor's degree at Coventry University. This is a part time course that requires me to attend classes two evenings a week. If Pailton Engineering wasn't invested in me, or didn't see a future with me as a key decision maker in the company, then this investment wouldn’t have been made. INWED 2018 focuses on raising the bar for women in engineering, and there


are still a plenty of myths and misconceptions to quash about working in the industry. I hope I've raised the bar for other women to start an engineering career, even if I did use this bar to obliterate the myths that are currently circulating – someone had to do it!
