Beer & Bots in Peoria: Bringing Robotics to Life at Distillery Labs
On February 26, our team hosted Beer & Bots in Peoria, Illinois at Distillery Labs, an interactive event designed to connect manufacturing professionals with practical robotics and automation solutions in a relaxed, hands-on setting.
The goal was simple: create a space where manufacturers could explore what’s possible with today’s automation technologies, ask questions, and have real conversations without the pressure of a traditional sales environment.
The event drew nearly 30 attendees, reinforcing the interest in robotics and automation solutions within the regional manufacturing base.
Showcasing Practical Robotics Solutions
Beer & Bots featured vendor partners from several of our top automation lines, such as FANUC, Yaskawa, Universal Robots, Turck, Anscer, Siemens, Rittal, Coval and more, offering attendees the opportunity to see live demonstrations and engage directly with product experts. The open venue layout created an environment that encouraged movement, conversation, and hands-on exploration.
Rather than focusing on theory, the event centered on practical application: how robotics can support production goals, improve efficiency, and address workforce challenges across manufacturing environments.
