Flexible Navigation with Srna at OTTO and Ed from HARTING (Automate 2024)
In this first "minisode" from Automate, Nikki and Ali sit down with Srna Okukua, Head of Marketing at OTTO by Rockwell Automation, and Edmund Garstkiewicz, Senior Industry Segment Manager at HARTING.
We'll explore how AMRs are making waves in industries ranging from automotive to consumer goods, offering unparalleled flexibility and efficiency over older AGV systems. Srna shares insights on the evolution of AMRs, capable of handling payloads from 300 to 4,000 pounds, and the significant ROI they bring to manufacturers.
But that's not all! Venture into the vibrant world of trade show robotics, where we reveal how creating an open and authentic booth environment can effectively highlight the safety and intelligence of robotics technology.
Looking ahead, we discuss the future trends in automation, including connector standardization and the mainstream adoption of AMRs.
The episode wraps up with a focus on ongoing challenges and opportunities, such as safety, labor reallocation, and public education on human-robot collaboration.
Tune in to get the latest on how AMRs are shaping the future of manufacturing.
