As an ABB Valued Provider, RMGroup will be using the workshop to update on the latest innovations, best practices and new technology solutions evolving in robotics and automation. There will be talks from leading industry experts, live demonstrations of applications utilising industrial and mobile robots (AMRs/AGV) including palletising, pick and place, material handling and storage operations, in addition to a myth-busting round table discussion and networking opportunities. Lunch and refreshments will also be provided.

As hosts, ABB Robotics will be taking the opportunity to provide delegates with a history of the company, the value they place on their longstanding 15-year partnership with RMGroup, and how its technology drives innovation and value for their customers every day. Being one of the world's leading robotics and machine automation suppliers, ABB will also provide an opportunity to tour its extensive product range.

Commenting on the event, RMGroup's managing director, Mark Tucker, said: "With robotics and automation becoming increasingly integrated into the workplace, it's more and more important to ensure that we have a collective understanding of the changing landscape in front of us and the opportunities that robotics and automation can provide. It's equally important that we challenge some of the misconceptions surrounding robotics and automation so that we are all conversant with the technology and its application."

Being the first integrator in the UK to be accredited under the A3/BARA Robot Integrators Certification Scheme, RMGroup supplies and manufactures a wide range of manual and automated packaging systems. These include robot palletising systems, pallet wrapping and material handling systems, as well as supplying a wide range of bagging solutions, weighing systems and high-speed form fill and seal packaging lines. Their ongoing partnership with ABB Robotics UK means that they can offer a fully automated solution for fulfilment, distribution and manufacturing kitting operations.
