Robot Strategy for ROI

Saison 6 · Épisode 7

mercredi 18 décembre 2024 • Durée 29:28

Robot Strategy for ROI (Return on Investment) is the focus of today's discussion between Stephanie West, Deputy Director of Operations at NERIC (North of England Robotic Innovation Centre) and Host Jeff Beacham.

How does NERIC support SME Manufacturers?

How do you see automation and robotics helping to upskill workers by allowing them to move away from repetitive or dangerous tasks and into more value-added roles?

What are the most pressing challenges that manufacturers face when it comes to adopting robotic solutions?

What should companies consider when integrating robots into their operations?

What role does NERIC play in the broader push for technology adoption in the manufacturing sector, especially when it comes to helping businesses overcome barriers such as cost or lack of technical expertise?

As robots and automation systems increasingly take on repetitive tasks, there’s a growing focus on retraining employees for more strategic, higher-level positions. How do you think organisations can best manage this transition for their workforce?

NERIC has strong ties to education and technology. How will workforce development evolve in the context of the current manufacturing landscape and what initiatives are there for workers to gain the skills they need to thrive in an increasingly automated world?

How do you ensure new technologies are secure and that sensitive data is protected, particularly when robots are communicating with other systems?
