Fanuc America has plans of constructing a 8.4 Lac sq.ft facility in Michigan – the objective for this facility is to provide production ready space and help expand its existing robotics manufacturing facility in the US.
Based in Rochester hills, this subsidiary of Japanese robotics and automation giant Fanuc is narrowing on 40 acres outside Pontiac.
It expands the company’s engineering capacity and advances manufacturing capabilities to support the growing demand for automation solutions across North America – Physical AI , Virtual commissioning and digital twin technology are the focus areas for this expansion.
With this announcement, Fanuc America will have invested nearly $300 million in multiple new facilities, increased the company’s footprint to 3 million sq. ft and created more than 700 jobs in the United States. The newly expanded Fanuc Academy – opening later this year – will become the largest robotics and automation skills development centre in the United States, helping address the manufacturing skills gap, rising demand for automation talent, the shift toward AI-enabled robotics and the country’s overall competitiveness.
