Diversifying Workforce Development:
Encouraging & Retaining Women in Manufacturing

Suzanne Tracey

 

10:15 AM - 11:00 AM EDT

Suzanne Tracey-Ward, Marketing Manager of The Knotts Company

 

Manufacturers of all types are welcoming individuals from every job function – from production to the C-Suite.  How do we work toward a world in which a diverse and inclusive manufacturing sector offers equitable opportunities and rewarding careers for all women. 

Building a culture of inclusion that acknowledges and respects our differences while fostering a genuinely welcoming community where everyone can feel that they belong is important to retaining women in manufacturing. 

Women are looking for a safe and respectful environment for people of all genders and gender identities; all races and ethnicities; all cultures and religions; all backgrounds and socioeconomic statuses; all sexual orientations; all ages; and all abilities.

Knotts Robotic LIVE Demonstrations

Robotic Welding (UR + Vectis)

UR5e

The UR5e series collaborative robot will be used to demonstrate the automated welding system from Vectis. It will use the actual Vectis tool to path trace along pre-welded parts.

CNC Automation/Machine Tending
(UR + Robotiq + Asyril)

UR3e_Hand

The UR3e series collaborative robot will be used to demonstrate a fully automated machine tending system. Parts will be presented in a disordered tray, and the robot will use a camera and a flexible feeding platform to pick the parts, place them in a “CNC fixture”, then palletize the “finished” parts.

Automating Your Factory or Warehouse's Internal Logistics, Transportation, & Distribution with Autonomous Mobile Industrial Robots (MIR)

MiR200_06

The MIR200 series autonomous mobile industrial collaborative robot will be used to demonstrate a call-and-delivery system. The MIR will have a cart-mounted on top with bottled water and soda, and several tablets will be placed around the designated area. Attendees will be able to call for specific drinks to their location, and the MIR will respond.
