The course follows the launch of UR’s free online training platform in 2016, UR Academy, which provides basic programming training on UR cobots. It also reflects UR’s focus on fostering innovation.
From August, the course will empower individuals with knowledge and skills to self-deploy robotics solutions and maintain automation equipment. The course, held at UR’s new training facility, is available at three levels: basic, intermediate and advanced—and will be led by a certified UR trainer.
The course at each level, which runs for 24 hours each, will give participants deeper insight into robotics, automation, risk assessments and safety standards, programming, development and engineering of automated solutions. Participants will learn how to identify ideal processes for automation. They will also learn about the use of multiple end-of-arm robotic tools, configure safety systems and program simple collaborative applications such as ‘pick and place’.
Shermine Gotfredsen, GM, Southeast Asia and Oceania at Universal Robots said: “Robotics and automation have become an integral part of our lives, transforming the way we live and work as Singapore progresses towards a Smart Nation. Robotics offers endless benefits, enabling companies to reduce operational cost, increase productivity and competitiveness and improve employee wellbeing. Singapore is increasingly leveraging on robotics—ranking second globally in terms of automation adoption in the manufacturing sector, with a robot density of 488 robots per 10,000 employees*.
"To fully reap the benefits of robotics and automation, workforce up-skilling is essential. Therefore, we are pleased to partner with e2i to establish the UR Collaborative Robotics Course... There is greater urgency to nurture a pipeline of talent to take on new and higher value jobs that will arise from automation. This also subsequently improves an individual’s career prospects.”
UR hopes to train more than 500 participants per year in robotics through the course. Participants who successfully complete the UR Advanced Collaborative Robotics Course can progress further with the Application Specific Elective Modules. These modules, each four hours long, will guide participants in building complex application projects such as packing and palletising, advanced assembly, polishing and glueing as well as machine tending. Topics covered in the advanced course will be expanded with exercises using real world applications.
In Singapore, UR has seen strong adoption of its cobots particularly in the electronics, precision engineering, biomedical and pharmaceutical industries. UR recently unveiled its new flagship e-Series cobots which offer wider application reach, increased useability and faster deployment.
Details:
The course is available in Singapore and open to the general public including foreigners and non-residents. Participants are required to have Singapore’s National Institute of Technical Education Certificate (NITEC) or equivalent as minimum entry requirements.
Each course is priced at $2,696.40. Singaporeans or Singapore permanent residents (PRs) are entitled for up to 50% training grant on course fees. NTUC members enjoy 50% unfunded course fee support for up to S$250 each year when they sign up for courses supported under NTUC’s Union Training Assistance Programme (UTAP).
