This week at AUSPACK, Robotic Automation is holding live demonstrations of its robotics solutions on stand A130 at AUSPACK 2019, and offering free automated guided vehicle (AGV) software appraisals to visitors.

On display at the Robotic Automation stand is the new GP8 high-speed model, which staff are demonstrating live alongside the new YRC1000 controller and smart teach pendant. The stand also features the new GP25; the MH180 materials handling robot; live demonstrations of new gripper technology with FSU; and the RoboPac mobile robotic wrapper.

The company, which turned 30 last year,  says it can offer its customers an exclusive range of products from Motoman, as well as top-level brands in machinery and AGV technology. According to Robotic Automation, it works with customers both as their consultant and supplier, analysing where the key problems are occurring – which could be in the supply chain, not just in the factory.

Aside from equipment demonstrations and AGV appraisals, the stand will also feature local case studies.

We spoke to Colin Wells at Robotic Automation's stand about the company's comprehensive range of automation solutions.
