In today's fast-paced production environments, picking and packing operations demand uninterrupted speed, reliability, accuracy and dexterity—all while maintaining critical food safety. Built with the highest quality standards to ensure unparalleled precision, FANUC cobots and robots deliver reliability and accuracy that minimizes error, reduces product waste and enhances overall quality control.

Fanuc America has officially unveiled its new 650,000 square foot West Campus facility in Auburn Hills, Michigan. The expansion increases the footprint in Michigan to over 2 million square feet and is part of Fanuc America’s strategic investment plan to support and advance industrial automation in North America. The West Campus represents a $110 million investment built on 67 acres of land.

Fanuc America will showcase its automation solutions designed to help companies’ future proof their supply chain at Modex 2024 in Atlanta, March 11-14, Booth #B-4026. 

Micropsi Industries today announced that its artificial intelligence (AI)-based software MIRAI is now compatible with numerous robots produced by FANUC, a leading supplier of robotics and factory automation in Japan, and its U.S. subsidiary FANUC America. With MIRAI, FANUC customers can now add valuable hand-eye coordination to multiple FANUC industrial and collaborative robots (cobots) to handle difficult-to-automate functions such as cable plugging and assembly.

FANUC America announces a West Campus expansion that will push its operational space in Oakland County, Mich. to nearly two million square feet.  The construction will include a 655,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility to house manufacturing, engineering and R&D projects. 

FANUC recently hosted a grand opening and technology open house at its new robotics and automation headquarters in Aguascalientes, Mexico.  The new 109K square foot facility will provide sales, demonstrations, training, engineering and customer service.  The grand opening included welcome remarks from the governor of Aguascalientes and FANUC corporate executives, followed by a ribbon cutting ceremony, facility tours, and a large showroom filled with robotic and CNC demonstrations.

Downtime is the enemy of profitability in manufacturing, which is why FANUC has introduced a new Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT) software designed to prevent production problems before they happen. AI Servo Monitor uses artificial intelligence to predict possible failures of the drive systems for FANUC servomotors and spindle motors.
