Workshop

From demo to practice: Building blocks for mobile cobot automation

Discover how to use mobile, configurable cobots for quick changeovers, small series and variation. An interactive day with case studies, demonstrations and a hands-on practical session.

Make cobots mobile and reconfigurable

Sirris and KU Leuven – ACRO will demonstrate in this interactive day event how cobot setups can be easily moved and reused across different machines. You will discover concrete cases, see live demonstrations, and work hands-on with the technological building blocks. You will leave with clear choices for safe, flexible automation that shortens lead times and boosts productivity.

For whom?

Manufacturing companies seeking improved flexibility and shorter lead times
Production and operations managers
Process and automation engineers
Quality & safety (HSE) professionals
System integrators / technical services

Key takeaways

How to move and reconfigure setups quickly
Key safety principles and requirements
Essential building blocks: hardware, docking, interfaces, communication
Practical tips from the Promation case and lab demonstrations

You will gain a complete, practice-oriented overview of flexible cobot automation and test the solutions yourself. You return with applicable insights and concrete next steps for your company.
