Build Your Automation Roadmap: Industrial Robots + Tooling
Northern Nevada’s manufacturing sector continues its rapid expansion, the region’s employers are confronting a growing challenge: a labor market that has nearly run out of slack. OnRobot will host the “Build your Automation Roadmap” event in Reno on April 9th, bringing practical automation solutions directly to the region’s manufacturing community.
The free, in-person, hands-on event will feature live FANUC robot demonstrations, expert-led workshops, and real-world automation use cases.
The event is designed for manufacturers in sectors such as metal fabrication, CNC machining, electronics, aerospace, food & beverage, and industrial equipment manufacturing — industries that form the backbone of the Reno manufacturing economy and are among the hardest hit by ongoing labor shortages.
