The Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC), has today launched a new Robot Experience Centre (REC) designed to help UK manufacturers accelerate the adoption of robotics and automation technologies.

Located at MTC’s Ansty Park site in Coventry, the new centre has been supported by Innovate UK through the High Value Manufacturing Catapult. The vendor-neutral facility will enable manufacturers to explore, test and validate robotics solutions before making investment decisions.

The REC comprises three dedicated areas: a modular automation and robotics sandpit for project development and experimentation; a demonstration space for applications including welding, palletising and machine tending; and a collaborative robot development area.
