Automation Systems Training & Workshops

Automation and robotic technologies are evolving rapidly — taking on more complex tasks that operators currently manage. As robot deployments grow, companies must develop their teams’ capability to keep pace

Well- executed automation isn’t just about the technologies integrated into the final solution— it also needs to be supported by a solid training and change management plan to ensure it runs as efficiently as possible. While your cell may function smoothly under normal conditions, things can and do go wrong. If your operators aren’t confident in troubleshooting and resolving issues, they’ll risk falling back on what they know — existing practices — and may even run the machine in bypass.

Tailored automation systems training

We offer comprehensive training programs to empower your operators to work confidently with robotic systems, to develop the essential skills to ensure compliance and adoption and to reduce downtime and operator turnover.

Applied Robotics offers flexible, site-specific robot training designed to match your unique operations. Over time — as more of your operators gain skills and experience — you may choose to become self-sufficient in training your people. We develop and deliver training content, modules and programs built around your robotic cell, business needs and production environment. Our training covers:

Operator training: to build confidence in working with robotic systems
Train-the-trainer programs: enabling internal trainers to pass on knowledge
Maintenance training: detailed service-level maintenance and troubleshooting

We also offer introductory-level training in robotics, Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and maintenance to ensure operators and technicians have a strong foundation.

Automation training that fits your schedule

To make training accessible to all teams, we offer sessions tailored to morning, afternoon and night shifts, ensuring 24-hour operational coverage.

“My experience working with the Applied Robotics Team has been great and their enthusiasm to take on challenging applications is second to none.”
