Breda, June 14, 2022 –
Last May, Eltrex Motion, specialist in drive and positioning technology and part of the international Eight Lakes group, became a member of Breda Robotics.
Breda Robotics is an initiative of various robotics companies, Avans University of Applied Sciences, the municipality of Breda and REWIN. Together they want to stimulate robotization in West Brabant through a Smart Industry Field Lab. Moreover, they would like to provide a solution to the shortage of technical talents in the region.
An ecosystem is created through Breda Robotics in which various stakeholders in the region are linked to each other to stimulate collaboration and coordinate supply and demand. The organization acts as a testing ground for innovative solutions from robotics companies, education and research groups. They do this by testing setups, sharing knowledge through active workshops and researching new solutions for issues from various industries such as healthcare, ship management, construction, infrastructure, maintenance and more.
Connection with the region
Eltrex Motion is a player within these various industries and would therefore like to appeal to the technical talents of tomorrow and inspire enthusiasm for robotization and automation. Coen Waltman, Director Eltrex Motion: “With our participation in this Smart Industry Field Lab, we come into contact with multiple stakeholders, students and suppliers in the region in an accessible way. By joining various forces we can contribute to their development in a constructive way.”
