Robotics Association Announces 2009 Safety Training Events

ANN ARBOR, Mich., Dec 05, 2008 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ --
As more companies adopt robots
the need for safety training is expanding across the U.S. and Robotic
Industries Association (RIA) is responding with more training events and
locations than ever.
For the first time, Knoxville, Tennessee is host to RIA's 2009 Spring
Robot Safety Conference at the Knoxville Marriott from March 23-25, 2009. This
three-day conference features a mix of workshops and conference sessions.
Tabletop exhibits also accompany the conference with top companies displaying
their latest robots, accessories and safety product innovations.
The RIA continues a twenty-one-year tradition of safety training as the
National Robot Safety Conference XXI comes to Detroit at the Hyatt Regency
Dearborn October 26-29, 2009. Attendees have four days to receive
comprehensive training for their automation safety concerns. Pre- and post-
conference workshops accompany the main conference, which features
presentations on robot safety, standards, case studies, the latest
developments and more. A networking and tabletop trade fair is also included,
adding to the event's value and excitement.
Companies interested in participating in the tabletop exhibits for either
conference can call RIA at 734/994-6088.
In addition to its two conferences, RIA offers one-day Robot Safety
Standard (R15.06) & Robot Risk Assessment Seminars. These robot safety
seminars, modeled after RIA's popular In-House Training courses, make their
inaugural stops in Long Beach, California at host facility DENSO Robotics on
February 4, 2009, and in Phoenix on March 30, 2009.
According to RIA's Standards Development Director, Jeff Fryman, "The
addition of the Long Beach and Phoenix seminars highlight the Association's

commitment to reach those interested in industrial safety throughout the West.
These seminars extend an opportunity for those in the region to attend and
receive training that meets their needs."
Full seminar, workshop and conference agendas are being developed for all
safety events and will be posted on the Association's website (visit
www.robotics.org) along with detailed registration information.

Featured White Papers

  • Seven Best Practices for Speech Analytics: Speech analytics is valuable for identifying issues in the contact center. However, limiting its use to the contact center only considers a portion of all customer interactions and subsequently only reveals a small part of the voice of the customer. This paper discusses how organizations can optimize their Speech Analytics implementation strategy to realize the promise of this exciting technology.
  • Understanding the Voice of the Customer: Today's contact centers involve a sea of information that must be captured, processed, and distributed on a daily basis. Effective use of this information enables companies to remain competitive in an increasingly aggressive and customer centric marketplace. An overwhelming percentage of the information that circulates in a contact center's audio recordings, documents, web pages, and emails is unstructured in that it resides outside of a normal structured database and cannot be managed efficiently. These unstructured items contain valuable information, yet this information historically has been difficult to organize, categorize, and access.
