The new Robotics Applications Center will showcase industry-leading robots demonstrating picking, packing, and palletizing processes that are used by many growing industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceutical production, semiconductor, and photovoltaics.
Robot-based automation ensures flexibility, productivity and reliability to meet ever shorter product life-cycles, new packaging designs, multiple pack sizes & product variants, and batch manufacturing. Adopting new technology is absolutely essential for firms and also ensures the competitiveness of Singapore in a global economy.
To this end, the new center will also serve as a live learning and collaborative environment through research and problem-solving from real industrial cases. The facility will allow end customers, channel partners and ABB to run trials with actual products, assemble robotics systems and conduct factory acceptance tests before delivery.
