Webinar Robotic Solutions for Ultra Clean Environments in Pharma and SEMI

WEBINAR
Thursday, March 25th, 2021
10:00 AM PDT

This seminar is complimentary to our Guests.

Who should attend?

  • Design Engineers
  • Engineering Management
  • R & D and Process Engineers
  • Manufacturing Engineers
  • Quality/Validation Managers
  • Product & Ops Managers
  • Application Engineers

Introduction

Machine designers have many design criteria and decisions to make that get more complicated with processes in ultra clean environments.

In this seminar we have invited three speakers who are intimately familiar with robotics and machine design criteria. Our speakers from Staubli will address robotics issues in aseptic pharma and our own Tony Smith will share some case studies that illustrate some of the challenges facing our customers in implementing machine design in SEMI applications.

Do you need answers to current ultra clean problems? Do you need to better understand practical issues around ultra clean environments in automation? Or do you just want to learn more? If you do, please join us for our seminar that will focus on automation solutions in ultra clean environments.
