“We are delighted to be part of this fantastic initiative. It greatly helps our students visualise the future of manufacturing in our region and has proved to be a great opportunity for them to network with local industry. WIT Engineering Technology courses actively search opportunities to integrate our students into industry in the surrounding regions by work placement, industry based projects and conferences and expositions.
“The connection with Horan Automation was made recently at the very popular Toys4.0Engineering Conference and Expo in the Waterford Arena in September 2017. We look forward to expanding our connections with local and national industry into the future,” she continues.
Automation is critical to the success of Irish the manufacturing industry and collaborative robotics are leading the way internationally to facilitating robots and humans working together side by side in a manufacturing environment. They bring high quality and flexibility to assembly operations, facilitating safety in the workplace whilst at the same time can greatly improve efficiencies and flexibility.
