'Take a day-off… and improve your productivity' is very much the emphasis of the two days. Underlining this is the fact that many manufacturing and production managers believe, quite erroneously, that they are just too busy to take time out to investigate simple and relatively inexpensive productivity enhancements, which could significantly improve their productivity and overall equipment effectiveness. |

The SafeMove concept comes about as a result of the continuing evolution of safety standards for robot and automation systems. Today, traditional safety systems require more guarding, more emergency stops and more equipment to separate the operator from the robot. These concepts are restrictive expensive and often inefficient. |
