  • What Can Robotics Do for Me?

    In this short, informative conversations, host Theresa Houck, Executive Editor of The Journal From Rockwell Automation and Our PartnerNetwork magazine, chats about robotics with Scott Oakley, North American Manager - Motion/ICT for Rockwell Automation. Learn when and why to use them, such as to perform tasks that aren’t safe for humans, provide higher levels of product uniformity with greater levels of precision and consistency, and improve processes.

    Also learn what it takes to plan for and implement robotics, the role of mechatronics, and how digital twins help streamline process design. Theresa and Scott discuss the realistic way to evaluate robotic system costs vs. efficiencies and savings created. And hear about the surprising way manufacturers are looking to robotics to solve some problems created by the COVID-19 virus.
    And of course, get your family-friendly, silly Joke of the Day.
