Today\u2019s manufacturing environments are heavily automated. Robotics is the foundation of industrial automation, and the need for robotics technicians, programmers, designers and installers is growing faster than the supply of qualified employees.<\/p>\n
Consider these statistics<\/a> from the Advanced Robotics for Manufacturing (ARM) Institute<\/a>, a membership-based organization focused on robotics and workforce development:<\/p>\n High school and college career and technical education (CTE) programs can help meet the demand for skilled robotics workers. Training students how to service, program and design robotic equipment used in manufacturing and other fields can prepare them for stable, high-paying jobs\u2014while also filling a key industry need.<\/p>\n Common positions requiring robotics-related skills include:<\/p>\n While robotics jobs require more specialized training than other manufacturing jobs, a high school diploma or GED is acceptable to many manufacturers for entry-level robotics positions. CTE program leaders can learn more about these positions (as well as other robotics career paths) at\u00a0RoboticsCareer.org<\/a>, a website from the ARM Institute.<\/p>\n Since 1982, Intelitek<\/a> has been a pioneer in training systems for industrial robotics. Intelitek offers a number of solutions to help high school and college CTE programs integrate robotics training for students, including robotics carts that combine hardware and curriculum within a simple, all-in-one solution.<\/p>\n For instance, the Motoman GP8<\/a> fenceless cart for education is a solution that\u2019s perfect for small spaces. It includes the GP8, a six-axis robotic arm with a 17-pound payload and 28-inch reach that students can use to program and learn a variety of robotic functions. The Intelitek Fundamentals or Advanced curriculum for Robotics pair with micro-credentials for a Robotic Operator and Robotic Programmer. The full cart solution includes software, educational resources, and training from Yaskawa.<\/p>\n Intelitek\u2019s New SmartCart 4.0<\/a> integrates robotics with other systems in an industrial setting and teaches Industry 4.0 specific competencies. The SmartCart 4.0 aligns with Industry 4.0 Smart Credentials from NIMS<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
