In this interview AZoM speaks to FANUC UK at Advanced Engineering 2018 about their new software for teaching students how to program and operation industrial robots.
Tell us about your company and why you are attending the show?
Passionate about automation, FANUC prides itself on manufacturing efficiencies. Automated solutions drive productivity, enhance quality and minimise costs. Advanced Engineering is an excellent opportunity to showcase some of the solutions we have to offer OEMs and supply chain professionals.
Are there any products you are showcasing today?
Given the exciting future facing the industry, we think education is extremely important. We’ve created the FANUC Educational Package, which we will be sharing with everyone at Advanced Engineering. Designed with students in mind, it enables young people to gain first-hand experience of programming and operating cutting-edge industrial robots. Package content is highly relevant for modern factory applications and contains everything instructors require for teaching purposes.
