Manufacturing automation isn’t what it used to be.
Today, robots can be controlled from an iPad, set up with zero training and be up and running almost immediately – even in high-mix, high-variability manufacturing environments that once seemed impossible to automate.
In this episode, CEO and Founder of Workr Labs, Kevin Macken, will tell you how they're eliminating traditional automation barriers – shifting the focus from complicated tech to practical workforce transformation.
Ken will explain how they're empowering operators – allowing teams to adapt faster, increase capacity and focus on more valuable tasks.
