DESCRIPTION:Join IAS for light snacks and local brews! Come see Doosan Robotics palletizing systems in action and discover how collaborative automation can simplify your end-of-line packaging. There is no cost for you to attend – we just want to see you there! \n“Industrial Automation Supply has been serving New England’s OEMs out of Portland\, ME for over 30 years. We have built a reputation based on reliability and customer service\, and are proud to be a New England-owned and- operated company. And in our 30+ years of business\, we have seen a LOT of “next big things” in automation. But\, in the case of collaborative robots—in particular the Doosan Robotics line of collaborative robots—this may be the real deal. And now\, cobots are being integrated into systems that simply make product creation\, packaging and transit easier for manufacturers. \nTo illustrate the point\, we would like to invite you to Allagash Brewing Company in Portland on Wednesday\, June 25 from 3-6pm so you can see Doosan Robotics palletizing systems in action for yourself. You will discover how collaborative automation can simplify your end-of-line packaging—and we also invite you to enjoy an Allagash White from Maine’s crown jewel of craft breweries—who have been our neighbors on Industrial Way for nearly 20 years. \nThis event is at no cost to you; we just want to show you how you can improve your workflow—as well as a number of the other incredibly varied applications collaborative robots can perform\, from pick-and-place\, to CNC tending\, to welding\, and more.” \nRegister here
