Shake Hands With Baxter, West Chester’s Famous Robot, On April 17

By

Have you ever wanted to meet a robot?

Baxter, the West Chester Rethinks Robotics robot represented by ONExia, has been on tour at companies in the Mid-Atlantic region and wants to be locally famous as well.

Chester County residents will have a chance to meet Baxter during a meet and greet set for 10 a.m. to noon Wednesday, April 16, at the company’s facility,1220 American Blvd., West Chester.

According to ONExia, industrial robots are versatile, affordable, and common sense business tools and they are showing up in all sorts of unexpected places – from small job shops to global manufacturing giants.

ONExia is interested in showing people that where once robots were not considered feasible because of expense and inflexibility, they are now making the workplace much easier and more productive for the human work force.

Sign up for a hand shake on the company’s web site, onexia.com, or speak with a company representative to arrange for Baxter to meet large groups at your company.

ONExia has more than 25 years of building and retrofitting custom machines. The company specializes in motion control, precision positioning and building state of the art automation solutions for many industries. ONExia also represents those they think are the best manufacturers in business including Rethink Robotics, who make Baxter.

And Baxter is not getting older, he’s getting better, according to ONExia, who says he is “learning” new tasks. ONExia tested a Beta version of the next Baxter software release. A move that would have taken 15 seconds to complete, took only six or six and a half seconds – with improved accuracy.

The company said Baxter will be able to work at a true human cadence, over sustained time.

ONExia was founded by Greg Selke in 1984 and serves businesses throughout the Mid-Atlantic Region as Multitech, Inc., Control Sales, Inc. and Automation Solutions International.
