INDUSTRY EVENT u Automation Live 2023
“We are delighted to introduce Automation Live. We are very proud to support this thriving industry and cannot wait to see you all in London this October” Louise Tiller, Media Director, Datateam Business Media
“Whilst most automation scenarios require specialist instrumentation and signal-conditioning equipment, there is always a need for standard test and measurement equipment” Peter Wrigley, Managing Director, Bermondsey Electronics
“It’s impossible to accurately forecast which new manufacturing technologies will become landmarks of the factory of the future. But one thing is certain – evolving industry trends and production technologies create new challenges for companies along the way”
Neil Mead, Head of Regional Marketing, KUKA
“Global labour shortages, fractured supply chains and geopolitical instability are seeing an increased rollout of automated technologies as companies try to ensure they can continue to operate when workers are not readily available” Paul Garner, Account Manager, Education and Collaborative Robots for ABB Robotics, UK
As the use of automation grows, many traditional roles will cease to exist, new roles will be created and new ways will be found to utilise existing workers. Training will also need to be available to help people to adapt and update their skillsets to enable them to work with automated technologies. With many of the roles, skills and job titles of tomorrow not even existing yet, the ability to stay one step ahead will mean adapting and learning to work with new technologies. We believe that it should be the job of education to help equip future workers with the skills needed to work in an automated future. We see education as a lifelong process, teaching basic skills and understanding during the first years of school that will then
be sharpened and refined as people move through the educational system and into the world of work. We also believe that learning collaborative skills will be equally as important as technology, with people combining their personal skills and intelligence with the technologies available to work together in new ways. At Automation Live, we will look at the impact of automation on the future of work and the measures that can be taken to ensure that the workforces of tomorrow are as prepared as possible for the changes this will entail.”
• Neil Mead, Head of Regional Marketing, Kuka:
“Our world is changing at an ever-increasing rate. From deep learning and IIoT to industrial robots, it’s impossible to accurately forecast which new manufacturing technologies will become landmarks of the factory of the future. But one thing is certain – evolving industry trends and production technologies create new challenges for companies along the way. To enjoy continued economic success, companies must anticipate and respond to emerging manufacturing trends and technologies. Between robotics in the workplace and IoT in manufacturing, to AI and the automation economy, the flexibility to adopt and adapt to new technologies gives industrial companies room for continued refinement and growth. At Automation Live, the presentation will explain why software is more important than ever for the user-friendliness of an entire robotic automation solution. It will also cover the latest developments in robot operating systems, such as iiQKA, that make them intuitive to use and offer access to an ecosystem of components, programs, apps, services and accessories to enable manufacturers to realise all the benefits of robotic automation in the simplest, fastest and most cost-effective way possible.”
