ABB will supply 5 industrial robots – IRB120, IRB2600, IRB360, IRB6700 and IRB14000 also known as YuMi, the world’s first truly collaborative robot designed for a new era of industrial automation – that will be installed at the laboratory of the Faculty of Engineering and Technology, Panyapiwat Institute of Management (PIM) where students of the Robotics & Automation Engineering program will utilize the technologies to learn through a Work-based Education process.
Thailand is witnessing an increasing demand for industrial robots in order to maximize production efficiencies and return on investment across industry segments. While this is a welcome advancement, the government has recognized the need to upskill the workforce by producing more programmers, more user experience and user interface designers, more engineers and more researchers to lead the way for the Industry 4.0 era.
