Vote for the ARM Institute's Robotics Manufacturing Hub in the Technical.ly Pittsburgh 2025 Awards! Voting ends on Nov. 30 and takes just a minute. Cast your vote here: https://lnkd.in/eeiWVuPZ More than 96% of the US Manufacturing base is composed of small and medium manufacturers. While these manufacturers are the foundation of our manufacturing base, they often lack the time and resources needed to implement robotics and AI solutions. Over the past several years, our Robotics Manufacturing Hub has played an integral role in helping manufacturers overcome these hurdles and enhance their global competitiveness through robotics innovations. Our work isn't limited to small and medium-sized manufacturers. See how our Automation Assessment can help manufacturers of all sizes here: https://lnkd.in/e-zFgZnN.
