MC Omron Meet Danny Cervantes 1 400

Meet Omron’s Danny Cervantes, featured in MICHauto’s “Discover Auto: You Drive the Future” Campaign

 

Many of today’s high school students know little to nothing about automotive plants, and they often have a wrong impression of the high-tech, modernized industry. They also might assume engineering is the only type of career that’s relevant to automotive, when in fact there are job opportunities in everything from a skilled trade to marketing and sales. Since automotive manufacturing is anticipated to not only grow significantly over the next few years, but also undergo dramatic changes, it’s essential to encourage interest in an automotive career among today’s young people. That’s why Omron is teaming up with organizations like MICHauto to educate high schoolers and college-age students about the industry.

Three Ways Today’s New Robotic Solutions Improve Logistics Applications

 

If you are feeling like your employees are bogged down with repetitive tasks that are preventing them from using their creativity, you’re not alone in the logistics world. Many warehouses and distribution centres continue to rely heavily on manual activities like tote moving and order picking, which drain workers and sometimes lead to stress injuries. Employees can make a greater contribution when they’re freed up from dull, unfulfilling tasks. Fortunately, today’s robotic solutions have advanced to the point where variations in product shapes and sizes are no longer an issue. Omron looks at the potential contributions of collaborative robots (“cobots”) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs).
