AMR Transformation
AMR gives the ability to deploy in days versus months giving us a way to do logistics in a more adaptive platform. In the past, it was something that was to fall in a path if an AGV would be forced to stop and wait for the obstruction to be cleared. AMRs can simply go around obstacles whether it's a cart, humans, etc. People still tend to neglect how powerful AMRs are as a connector from system to system. There are so many opportunities to rethink how we build the entire automation system and have an infrastructure with more satellite systems. Now we can deploy single automation systems that can supply to multiple lines simultaneously a prime example of this would be a robotic cell that has tooling and vision systems to do bin picking and nesting of parts. Giving the downstream systems the ability to handle complex featured parts.

Autonomous Robotic Welding. What is Breakthrough Technology Really Capable Of?
You often hear about self-driving cars and their levels of autonomy. When can a driver completely remove their hands from the steering wheel? This also applies to robots. How can robots become fully autonomous? The presenters will talk about the most advanced technologies in robotics. They will explain to you how to accelerate value from your robotics investments. Also, they describe what to do if you already have a robot but it's gathering dust in the corner - how to upgrade an inefficient robotic cell.
