Keynote: Future of Automation
Automation has undergone rapid change in recent decades and it doesn’t look like it’s slowing, with industries reinventing themselves by embracing digital and green technologies. With digitization, optimizing human-machine interaction will capitalize on the added value human workers bring to the factory floor. Digital technologies such as AI or robots can support, empower and co-exist rather than replace workers. In this keynote, Niels will look how automation has evolved and the key building blocks for the future of automation.

D:PLOY – Shaping the Future of Robotic Automation
Imagine if you could deploy a robotics application run that simply detects, configures all components in the cell, including the robot arm, tooling, grippers, sensors, machines and other I/O devices. All accessed, controlled and monitored from one unified dashboard.
In this session, you will be experiencing what OnRobot has been preparing for years: D:PLOY, the industry’s first automated, application-centered software platform for robotic deployment. The dramatic 80% reduction in deployment time is just one powerful illustration of what D:PLOY offers. Aiming at making robot programming quicker, automatic, and easier, D:PLOY will help change how the industry thinks about collaborative automation, broadening its accessibility and improving success for manufacturers in almost any industry.

Panel: Is the Four-Day Manufacturing Week a Reality in Asia?
Physical stress, mental exhaustion, fulfilling customers deadlines are some of the common onset of work fatigue admis COVID -19 pandemic. There is no doubt a spruce of terminology such as flexible working and work-life balance that have become the talk of town, all in the light of improving employees health and well-being, hence improving business productivity in the long run.
Many companies have taken steps to trail-blazar this notion, taking an effort to transcend, going above and beyond and putting emphasis on a four day work week. However, how relevant is this for industries such as manufacturing, where there is a labour gap and the industry is simultaneously grappling with productivity and supply chain issues?
In this panel discussion, the feasibility of four-day manufacturing week in Asia will be examined. Panellist will also discuss how to leverage emerging automation technologies to help it a reality, by increasing productivity levels that can facilitate a reduction in hours and improve job satisfaction.
Moderator: Dr Yeong Che Fai, Associate Professor, University of Technology Malaysia

Lars Bach, Head of R&D, Cobot Arm, Universal Robots
Dr. Prapin Abhinorasaeth, Executive Director, Lertvilai & Sons Co., Ltd., President, Thai Automation and Robotics Association (TARA)

Sensor Technology - Forming the Robot Ecosystem to increase productivity
Industry 4.0 has driven the deployment of Robot and Autonomous Platforms in manufacturing. Advancement in technology has made Cobots easy to deploy - movement can be teach instead of programmed. Coupled with sensors - allowing robots to be able to "sense" its environment and target objects, robots can be deployed with flexibility and reconfigured for different target objects with ease. This will lower the total cost of ownership. In addition, the ability to "sense" will ensure safe productivity ensuring sustainable and responsible profitability. Our speaker will be sharing with you how SICK Sensor Intelligence enables safe "sensing" of Robots and Autonomous Mobile Robots.
