Bakeries-focused ‘Switch to Robots’ event to take place in Milton Keynes

1 min read

A bakeries-focused ‘Switch to Robots’ seminar is due to take place next month to explain how ongoing developments in robot technology are opening new possibilities for transforming productivity and efficiency in baking applications.

Taking place at ABB’s Solutions Centre in Milton Keynes, the event will show how robots can bring various benefits such as enhanced flexibility to handle multiple products, reduced wastage and increased yields.

The seminar will aim to provide a step-by-step guide to introducing robotic automation to the factory floor and is specifically designed for those with little or no experience of robotic automation.

Aspects it will cover include how to tell whether a robot could be beneficial, how to design a robotic installation, where to get help and how to make a financial case for an investment.

Real-life examples of bakeries using robotic automation are also included, as well as a hands-on workshop session in ABB’s training centre that will provide the opportunity to use some of the latest robot technology and see a demonstration of ABB’s RobotStudio offline programming software.

The seminar and workshop will take place on Wednesday 26th April 2017.

Mike Wilson, general industry sales manager for ABB Robotics in the UK and Ireland, said: “Misconceptions about the cost, flexibility and complexity of robots are stopping many small to medium UK bakery companies from realising their true potential.

“Our Switch to Robots event will help bakery businesses to easily identify whether a robot could be beneficial and explain the steps they need to take in specifying and installing the best solution for their requirements.”
