Seegrid Helping to Repair the Workforce with Robotics and Education

PRLog (Press Release) - Jun. 15, 2012 - Based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Seegrid Corp. (www.seegrid.com)  brings robotic vision-guided technology to the material handling industry. Seegrid offers solutions that optimize workflow processes by increasing productivity and reducing costs, creating economic and operational advantages.   Part of the role of the robotic leadership is support education initiatives which ensure a workforce ready to use these technologies.  David Heilman, CAO at Seegrid, said, "Our customers are growing and innovating by using robots to increase facility productivity and efficiency to become more profitable, thus expanding their operations and adding more jobs.  Robots are the high-tech tool companies are using to increase profits and grow their business."  
The new generation of workforce expects high-technology in their life and workplace. Unlike just one generation past, the mindset of young workers today has changed.  The attitudes about technology, including robots is far from science fiction, and many workers under forty actually prefer companies that utilize robots and computers.  Robotic education has grown quickly through STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics).  FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) celebrates the achievement in STEM education through robotics tournaments.  Seegrid recently supported STEM education by awarding a Pittsburgh high school student a robotics education scholarship at a FIRST competition.  
FIRST celebrates the achievement in STEM education through robotics tournaments. Seegrid has seen robotic education grow already through STEM and recently had the opportunity to support STEM education by awarding a Pittsburgh high school student a robotics education scholarship at a FIRST competition.  Seegrid is committed to investing in young people and as the leader in robotics continues to innovate and provide products that create jobs.
Several Seegrid employees are mentors as well as coaches for FIRST. "Seegrid is committed to investing in our young people and will continue to innovate and provide products that create jobs," Heilman suggested.
