Beer, Bots and Big Ideas: Event Recap from Fat Head’s Brewery
On December 3, GCG Automation & Factory Solutions hosted Beer & Bots at Fat Head’s Brewery in Middleburg Heights, Ohio. More than 40 guests joined us for an afternoon of robotics, automation and conversations about what comes next for manufacturing.

From intuitive cobots and AMRs, to flexible end-of-arm tooling, the technology on display showed just how quickly automation continues to evolve. Guests were able to see robots in motion, ask questions, and discuss how similar tools could support their own goals and production demands.
