Webcast: How small and midsize businesses can get started with robots

Robots are often viewed as a heavy-cost venture, keeping the “little guys” out of the equation. But, that's not as prevalent in 2024.

Mobile robots, cobots, sensors and other robotic elements can prove to be a cost-effective offering for businesses of all organizations. Which robotic area should the smaller and midsize businesses approach as they dip their toes in the robot pool? They have lots of options, it's a matter of finding the area that meets their business needs best, such as ASRS, process management, simulation or others.

Tune into this free discussion addressing these topics, and how SMBs can start their journey with robots.
