The New Jersey Manufacturing Extension Program joined Universal Robots, a Denmark-based leader in collaborative robotics, as an Authorized Training Partner in the Universal Robots Training Academy network.
NJMEP will bring specialized robotics training closer to New Jersey manufacturers, empowering them to integrate advanced automation into their operations, enhance workforce skills, and boost regional competitiveness.
Universal Robots has set the standard for collaborative robotics, transforming automation by creating solutions that work safely alongside human workers.
These ‘cobots’ are used worldwide to increase productivity, enhance safety, and allow businesses to scale.
“Our mission is to make sure New Jersey manufacturers have every opportunity to grow, adapt, and succeed in today’s tech-driven world,” Peter Connolly, CEO of NJMEP said. “By teaming up with Universal Robots, we’re able to offer advanced robotics training that not only elevates our manufacturing community but also strengthens New Jersey’s economy. As an authorized training partner for Universal Robots, NJMEP will be a powerful resource for workforce development in our state.”
Torsten Schimanski, CSO of NJMEP, added, “The Universal Robots Training Academy offers our clients access cutting-edge technology training that’s critical to thriving in modern manufacturing. This partnership with Universal Robots is part of NJMEP’s commitment to supporting innovation and sustainable growth among New Jersey manufacturers. Now these businesses can lean on us to explore implementing cobots just as they do for so many other areas of their business.”
