New Scale Robotics is a Corporate Strategic Partner of the NCATC (National Coalition of Advanced Technology Centers). We are excited by their mission of workforce development with a focus on smart automation for manufacturing!
This month we teamed up with Universal Robots for an educational webinar hosted by NCATC.
In our talk, Automated Metrology 101: Adding Robotics & Quality to Manufacturing Education, we explained how collaborative robots are used in manufacturing to automate quality control processes. We presented an overview of our innovative metrology and robotics course materials that include hands-on learning with a Q-Span Workstation Kit and UR robot.
