SICK UK confirmed as headline sponsor of pioneering industrial robocs conference


Future Robocs, the UK’s only dedicated industrial robocs conference, will take place on Tuesday 13 November at The Slate, Warwick University. Its pioneering approach to the topic has captured the aenon of industry, including SICK UK – a company at the forefront of industrial sensor development since 1946 – which has pledged its support as headline sponsor of the event. “Future engineering and manufacturing applicaons for robocs are rapidly being realised into today’s producon environments. At SICK, we are keen to support the promoon of future robocs iniaves and encourage leadership, innovaon and development,” comments Neil Sandhu, product manager for imaging, distance and ranging soluons. The future of manufacturing in the UK is currently up


for debate, making the ming of the conference crucial. Neil connues: “In reality, no one can be sure where UK manufacturing may be in the next 12 to 18 months. It is therefore key that events like Future Robocs are happening.


“UK manufacturing must decide now whether to


invest in roboc automaon technology to remain compeve in the future.” Neil Sandhu will also lead one of the event’s hotly


ancipated CPD accredited seminars. Titled ‘Seeing is believing… Robots with a vision’, the presentaon will explore how technologies are now being ulised as a vital part of robocs soluons within automaon and how advancements in both robocs and machine vision have enabled easier integraon, communicaon and deployment in today’s demanding and evolving environments.


A tabletop exhibion will take place alongside the seminar programme, where some of the industry’s leading companies will display live and interacve models of their innovave and forwardthinking products and soluons. On the SICK UK stand, visitors can expect to see the


PLOC2D and PLB Robot Guidance systems – intuive camerabased parts and binpicking localisaon soluons that can easily handle unstructured materials handling applicaons. Manufacturing experts will also be on hand to discuss individual cases on how to achieve safe robocs soluons that enable ecient human/robot collaboraon. Companies also exhibing include Pilz Automaon


Technology, Universal Robots, ifm, igus, KUKA, Piab, Scorpion Vision UK, SensoPart, Servo Components & Systems Ltd, Shadow Robot Company and SMC. With a wealth of knowledge, interacve experiences and networking opportunies on oer, Future Robocs has solidified itself as a ‘mustaend’ event for anyone involved in UK manufacturing. Tickets cost just £55 +VAT – with prices including lunch and refreshments throughout the day – and are available through a secure online booking form on the Future Robocs website.
