Acieta Announces Acquisition of Capital Industries, Strengthening Your Automation Edge.

Having labor and productivity problems?

Join us November 3, 2022!

As we’ve learned the hard way these last couple years, it’s impossible to predict the future.

But we know some challenges aren’t going away anytime soon: labor shortages, higher prices for raw materials, and the need to reduce our reliance on overseas suppliers. Robots may be the best way to improving your productivity, reducing costs, and filling jobs.

Please join us for a hands-on experience with robotic systems, and talk with industry experts about your manufacturing challenges. See demonstrations of robot solutions that can give you the competitive edge to take on whatever the future brings.

Bring your challenging parts, questions, goals and your imagination to talk with experts about how robotics can help solve your production and hiring challenges. 

FANUC technologically advanced collaborative robots (cobots) have made implementation faster and operation easier than ever before for manufacturers of all sizes. This workshop brings together robot experts and local manufacturers to discuss industry challenges and viable solutions.
