Session Topic: Bridging the Skills Gap: A Solution for Today’s Labor Shortage
Thursday, 9/12, 1:15PM – 2:10PM / Room W193-A
In the face of today’s shortage of skilled workers, achieving operational excellence and maximizing spindle time has become an even greater challenge for manufacturers. What is needed to address the pressing issue of a skills gap in the workforce is an intuitive pathway to enhance machine efficiency and seamlessly integrate into Industry 5.0, all without requiring an extensive background in robotics or automation. Whether the goal is lights-out machining or harnessing machine data for process improvement, the solution is to simplify the journey and empower machine shops to overcome challenges without the need for advanced expertise. Attendees of this presentation will discover how they can thrive in their machine shop endeavors, even in the absence of an advanced robotics degree. Let’s embark on a journey to make automation accessible, bridge the skills gap, and elevate machine shops to new heights.
