Robotics & Automation Awareness

Built for supervisors, HR and operations staff rather than robot engineers, this course demystifies shop-floor automation. It covers the main types of industrial robots, the difference between traditional robots and collaborative robots (cobots), safety and integration basics, and what automation means for the workforce.

An awareness programme for manufacturers assessing automation, aimed at management, engineering and production staff together rather than at specialists. Participants cover the main robot types and what each suits, cobots and the safety considerations that come with shared workspaces, vision systems, and the difference between automating a task and redesigning a process. The commercial half is given equal weight: how to identify which operations justify automation, how payback is calculated honestly, and the workforce and retraining questions that determine whether a deployment succeeds. Malaysian grant and incentive routes for automation investment are covered where relevant.

Frequently Asked Questions

Robotics & Automation Awareness runs for 1 day, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. It is delivered as an in-house closed group session, so the schedule can be adjusted to fit your team's working hours.

Yes. Delivery options are physical, online, hybrid, e-learning. In-house sessions run at your premises anywhere in Malaysia, online sessions run live over video conference, and hybrid combines both for teams split across sites.

None, Orbix own course. Delivered as an HRD Corp claimable workshop with an Orbix certificate of completion. Each certificate carries a certificate number that can be checked at orbixtech.my/certificate-verify.

Level: Awareness (non-engineers). The session is built around worked examples and group exercises rather than theory, so participants apply the material to their own organisation during the session.

Yes. This course is also available through the Orbix LMS and e-learning platform, where participants work through the material on their own schedule and device rather than attending one fixed session. A knowledge assessment and certificate on completion work the same way as the instructor-led session.

Minimum 2 participants for an in-house or live online session. With only 1 participant, we deliver it as a one-to-one online session instead.

Yes. Many clients pair this course with our one-day team building and high-performing teams programme on the same engagement, so the budget and the day cover both.

Yes. Participants can follow up by email with questions that come up while applying what they learned, and we will point you to the right template, checklist or framework reference even after the session is over.
