Get Ready – The Robots Are Coming to Print!

Session Details

Robotics have been common place in the car industry and consumer electronics for many years, yet they are still a rare sight on a production floor in a commercial printer. Keypoint Intelligence has been researching the reasons why robots have not yet become mainstream and investigates what the benefits are.

During this session, visitors will hear success stories from early adopters, gain a better understanding of where the industry’s mindset is towards robotics, learn more about why 42% of print service provider respondents in their survey indicated they were actively looking into a robotic investment, and lastly where robotics is likely to go in the near future in print.
