This is the penultimate blog, highlighting the different sessions taking place during our seminar on the 27th June – and if you’re not already signed up for Insights and Innovations for Machine & Equipment Builders, there’s no time to waste. Our series of blogs, including this one on Robotics & Automation will give you the rundown on each of the sessions held by ourselves and our technical partners throughout the day, and how you can benefit from the expertise we have to offer. In this entry, we will discuss the session delivered by Richard Weston of Comau.
In this session, Richard Weston will discuss the advantages of embracing automation to future-proof a business and ensure they’re well and truly in touch with the capabilities brought to the fore by robotics and automation. It’s all about the future and Richard plans to foster a conversation on what holds the most potential for machine and equipment builders and their automation processes. His presentation will look at the drivers and the advantages of utilising Robotics, the key to the future.

One of the UK’s leading strategic manufacturing specialists is tapping into the UK’s unprecedented investment in upgrading the electricity grid.
As Britain accelerates investment in grid infrastructure, protection and control capacity could become a critical delivery constraint.
The appointment of a new Prime Minister inevitably brings renewed debate about the direction of the UK economy and what it could mean for business.
Ian Knight, Chief Information Officer at PP Control & Automation (PP C&A) challenges the prevailing, often vague narrative around AI adoption and reframes the conversation around a more practical starting point: operational constraints.
Artificial intelligence is no longer a distant concept for manufacturers. It is already being explored across quotation, production planning, engineering, quality, supply chain and customer service functions. Yet, for many organisations, the gap between experimentation and meaningful operational impact remains difficult to close.
A leading aquaculture specialist – that is changing the way fish are vaccinated safely – has signed a major manufacturing deal.
On paper, defined discipline-specific suppliers can look organised. However, every additional supplier introduces another handoff, and every handoff creates another point where time, quality, communication and accountability can be lost.
Very rarely does growth not surface because an OEM lacks ambition. Shortcomings arise because operating models built to support such ambition don’t evolve quickly enough.
