📮 We just got word from The Big Man in Red. 🎅 He wanted to thank us for our latest integration, BOB the Elf. He mentioned that with all the high-tech toys he has to make these days having the precision and consistency of BOB working the production line has made him feel #blessed. Most importantly, production is on schedule, and hitting the 25th deadline should be no problem. Now he's interested in more BOBs to help his aging workforce and demand needs for the future. ***Some might not know, but most of his workers are hundreds if not thousands of years old! Happy Holidays from the RGS Crew 🫶 #SantasGotABrandNewBag

Risk 👉 Live Demo a product still in development. 😬 Reward 👉 Tapping local mfgs for feedback to make sure we hit the mark. 🎯 Last month we invited industry pros from local manufacturers to get a first-hand look at BOB, give feedback, and discuss how automation helps their operations increase production. We learned how BOB fits into tight spaces and tight budgets, allowing mfgs of all sizes to adopt reliable automation. Now that BOB is a pallet pro, his next jobs will be tasks like bin picking and machine tending. ⚙️ FANUC America Corporation #mobilecobots #robotics #cobots #automation #industrial #mfg #industrialautomation

😵💫 Facing a labor shortage with 10 to 30 job openings at any time? You're not alone. We hear this same struggle from manufacturers across the US. The reality is that businesses aren’t replacing workers with robots; they’re looking for ways to empower them. 🦾 Automation IS the answer for handling repetitive, machine-like tasks so your team can focus on creative problem-solving. For first-time robotics adopters, automating the 'low-hanging fruit' around the facility is the perfect way to start optimizing operations. ✅ Our Co-Founder, Diane Abruzzini Riggs, breaks down the Top Myths in Robotics in Episode 2 of the Rigorous Approach. 👉 Link in the comments to the full episode.

🏭 We were proud to participate in the Vermont Chamber of Commerce Manufacturing Summit, celebrating the backbone of our local economy: manufacturers! The topic of the day (more like year) was the Labor Crisis that all manufacturers face. We hear it all the time, "It's not like the old days." The bottom line is that the landscape has changed, and it's not going "back" to the way it was. It's time to implement strategies that attract & retain employees while also turning to technology to force multiply the people you have. The way we see it, if people are being hired for their muscles and not their brains... that's a perfect place for a robot. 🤖 Automation helps businesses work smarter, not harder. 🚫 Believe us, ROBOTS ARE NOT STEALING JOBS. 🔥 Hot take... there is no one there to steal it from. #VTManufacturing #MadeInVermont #ManufacturingMatters
