NERDIC Industry 4.0 Readiness Ecosystem: Technology Demonstration Using Collaborative Robots (Cobots) to Streamline Processes & Drive Efficiencies
ZoomThis technology demonstration is part of the NERDIC Industry 4.0 Readiness Ecosystem program for the New England defense supply chain. For more information, please visit ccat.us/NERDIC.
Join us for an introductory webinar and technology demonstration where we will showcase the use of Collaborative Robots (Cobots) in Manufacturing to overcome process gaps, and deliver operational and cost benefits.
The technology demonstration will take a deeper dive into using Cobots to streamline component repair, through the use of a collaborative robot (cobot), 3D scanning technology and a grinding system.
High value metal components with long lead times are best candidates for repair and reuse. Worn surfaces that fall outside the acceptable tolerances for continued component use are among one such repair application. The determination of the extent of the wear, the use of additive manufacturing technologies, such as wire arc or directed energy deposition to build up material on the worn surfaces, the process of machining or grinding back down to nominal and post inspection are typically a manual process.
In this technology demonstration you will see how the use of a collaborative robot, 3D scanning technology and a grinding system can help streamline the process of turbine tip repair.

Pandemic Planning – OSHA Language
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has released the emergency temporary standard (ETS) approved by the White House's regulatory office. The guidance covers employer requirements around the vaccine mandates including paid time off, paid sick leave for vaccinated employees, remote workers, and more.
The Associated Industries of Massachusetts (AIM) is providing resources to help our members understand and prepare for the requirements released by OSHA. OSHA’s COVID-19 Vaccination Emergency Temporary Standard. Join us as we drill into what you need to know as an employer developing, implementing, and enforcing mandatory COVID-19 vaccination- policies.
