International Robot Safety Conference returns in person

Top industry experts from Amazon, FANUC, Honda, Procter & Gamble, Rockwell, SICK, Universal Robots, Zebra, and more will speak at the IRSC (International Robot Safety Conference), presented by the A3 (Association for Advancing Automation).

This year, IRSC will be back in person for the first time since 2019, running from the 27th to the 29th of September, 2022 in Columbus Ohio. The conference and trade show will cover key issues in robot safety and provide an in-depth overview of current industry standards related to industrial robotics, including conventional, collaborative, and mobile robot systems.

Registration is open online, and companies of all sizes and in nearly every industry are purchasing and deploying robots at a rate never seen before in North America,” said Jeff Burnstein, President of A3.

“As a result, the International Robot Safety Conference is more important than ever for integrators, manufacturers, and end users who need to make sure their knowledge of robot safety and risk assessment is current. This event is part of our association’s unwavering commitment to prioritising the safety of workers as the demand for robots increases.”

New for 2022, attendees will learn about the updates to the ISO 10218 robot safety standards, the latest work on mobile robot safety, and the growing importance of industrial cybersecurity. IRSC will help businesses reduce risk by ensuring personnel are familiar with robot and machine safety as well as current robot safety standards. Industry leaders will provide real-world case studies and identify best practices on how to incorporate safety into existing and new projects.

Attending IRSC empowers companies with the most current safety insight and connections to develop winning strategies and a competitive edge.

In addition to ISRC, A3 will also hold the Artificial Intelligence & Smart Automation Conference in Columbus, Ohio, during the same week. The AI & Smart Automation Conference is a one-day event to help companies unlock the power of AI, with discussions on data strategy, advances in AI, robotics and machine vision, and AI-powered optimisation and prediction.

Autonomous Mobile Robots & Logistics Week, scheduled for the 10th to 13th of October, will be co-located with The Vision Show, designed to provide the right solution providers, the right technology, and the right expertise to implement full automation solutions featuring AMR, logistics, vision and imaging systems.

The A3 Business Forum will run from the 16th to the 18th of January, 2023, in Orlando, Florida and is an annual networking event for robotics, vision & imaging, motion control & motors, and artificial intelligence industry professionals.
