Podcast: The Three Best Practices for Implementing Machine Tending Cobots

Collaborative Robots are sometimes thought of as the newest thing in automation, though they have been around for a few years. However, unlike other forms of automation and what we now think of as ‘traditional’ robots, they are much safer for humans to interact with them. They can work side by side. But this leads to new ways of thinking about automation. And there are misconceptions that persist around cobots.

In this podcast, Bruce Morey, Senior Technical Editor for Manufacturing Engineering Magazine discusses cobots, their uses and these misconceptions joined by Jason McCurdy.

Jason McCurdy is the Vice President of Automation and Applications for Phillips Corporation. In this role, Jason oversees Phillips’ application engineering and automation business. He manages a team of solutions and applications engineers dedicated to delivering legendary value for their clients. Jason’s experience includes over 13 years in the machine tool and robotics industry.
