Intelitek and Yaskawa Partner to deliver Robotics to Edu Market and Industry 4.0 Certifications
January 2, 2020
Through a new partnership with Yaskawa America Inc., Motoman Robotics Division (Yaskawa), Intelitek is now the official and exclusive distribution channel for Yaskawa’s robotic workforce training solutions for the STEM education market. Through this strategic partnership, Intelitek and Yaskawa will promote and grow the use of industrial robotics for career and technology education in secondary and postsecondary institutions.
“Intelitek and Yaskawa will collaborate not only on delivering robotic equipment to the education market, but also to introduce training, curriculum, train-the-trainer programs and certifications for students in engineering and manufacturing programs across the country,” said Ido Yerushalmi, CEO of Intelitek.
Both companies will exhibit together at ACTE CareerTech Vision 2019 in Anaheim on December 5 and 6 where they will emphasize the partnership and the strong dealer network they have across the United States and Canada.
Intelitek, a leader in CTE education worldwide, was a pioneer in industrial robotic training and education. For over 25 years, Intelitek has produced and delivered educational robots and simulation software that is used together with their curriculum in classrooms across the globe. For some years, Intelitek has partnered with Yaskawa, using Yaskawa industrial robots to complement their education robot solutions.
This partnership allows Intelitek to offer several Yaskawa educational solutions, including select Motoman® robots for educational training workcells, the EduCart robotic training platform, MotoSim Touch and MotoSim EG-VRC for Education. MotoSim Touch is a PC-based offline programming environment that allows students to toggle between a virtual pendant and a physical robot teach pendant. MotoSim EG-VRC allows students to learn programming and modeling of industrial robots in a safe, simulated 3D environment.
