A robot as a solution to my staff shortage?

Can a robot solve my labor shortage? If so, what will it cost? How large must my series be to make the purchase profitable? What knowledge do I need to bring in and what does this mean for my overall production process? Where do I get the people who can program a new application?

The amount of questions and the fact that every environment and process is unique makes a ready-made answer impossible. Therefore, together with 3M, we are organizing a customer day, where we will start looking for answers.

SLH (robot integration) and TFT (cobot) are present to make it a joint day where both options, cobot and robot, are side by side. This will make it easy to compare the possibilities and impossibilities of both systems. 3M will further discuss how automation affects your choice of sanding and grinding materials. This day will go a long way in helping you find the direction that is of interest to you.

Together, these three parties know how to ask the questions that you may not have even realized are impactful questions.

Is my product suitable for robotic machining?

To answer that question, you can bring your own products to present to SHL and TFT. Both experts will be happy to share their views on this and provide insight into the necessary preconditions.

Prior to the event, our sales engineer will contact you to identify your expectations and questions. Then you can also discuss your applications and bring a sample product. From all input, we will provide one or two cases to 3M for preparation. These will be developed and demonstrated at the customer day.

The program is basically as follows:

• 9.30-10.00 Reception at 3M's CAT center in Neuss.
• Between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. three workshop rounds with SLH, TFT and 3M respectively
• 3M innovation tour
• During the day, you will of course be provided with coffee, tea and lunch.
• 5 p.m. wrap up
• 5:30 p.m. We conclude day with a communal dinner at the 3M location so you can go home satisfied after the traffic jams.
