Before embarking on digitizing and automating production processes, let's find out what needs to be done to get such a process right. The best way to do this is with experienced production robotization specialists.
Robots, cobots, artificial intelligence, maintenance... and many, many other topics can be learned in classroom and online training.
And to that:
learn the legal aspects. Get CE certification and risk assessment tools.
learn what needs to be done to make a robotic station safe.
learn when it is worth and when it is not worth investing in an industrial robot.
learn about the cost of automation and what to do to reduce it.
