It was an eye opening day spent at the robotics and factory automation showcase at FANUC Europe Ireland. We got a demo of their most popular robots followed by excellent presentations showing case studies of uses and applications in the construction and interior manufacturing industry. Our industry is slow to adopt robotics but this is ripe for change with the current shortage of labour. A big thanks to Dick Clerkin and Conor O'Kelly for the invite and to all our IWIN members who attended.
