Hygiene, keeping distance ... investing in automation has become more important than ever in today's climate. "The food industry, as an essential sector, has always continued to produce. But even there, the need for fast, safe and flexible solutions to get more out of production is making itself felt. Our robots and cobots are the perfect answer to these challenges due to their ease of use," says managing director Paul Ribus. The fact that FANUC already has a strong presence in the food industry has everything to do with the fact that they have the widest range on the market. "Users do not have to compromise between their requirements and our models. Because of our strength in breadth, there is always a robot in the range that incorporates all their requirements."
The robots are also available in special versions so that they can, for example, come into direct contact with food or operate in clean rooms. Or developed with a specific application in mind such as pick-and-place, packaging or palletizing. FANUC adds a wide range of accessories. Ribus: "With specific toolings or additional equipment such as 2D and 3D cameras, line tracking ... we can fully customize our robots. The end goal is to ensure that the user gets a solution tailored to his application, so that he is completely unburdened and his operators can be assigned other tasks."
This will also be clearly seen and experienced in the Inspiration Room that will be housed in FANUC's new construction project. "Despite corona, we continue to invest in the market because we are convinced that we need to be close to our customers. Customers will be able to draw inspiration here and see what we have in store for them. Also when it really has to be hygienic." Finally, FANUC keeps its finger on the pulse of new trends. "Digitalization can no longer be ignored in the industry. With our software, companies can monitor their production to further optimize their processes and maintenance program. That offering from a to z, makes us a unique player in factory automation," Ribus concludes.
