Fanuc and Rockwell Automation announced an advanced global collaboration to provide customers a more seamless and integrated manufacturing solution. The two companies have expanded their initial collaboration, started four years ago, in the CNC and Logix programmable automation controller (Logix PAC) environments with further integration of robotics, RoboMachines and enterprise software products. The effort will have an initial impact on applications in the automotive industry, where customers can experience benefits of a preferred integration plug-and-play automation and information solution.
“Fanuc and Rockwell Automation agree that our globally shared customer base wants a completely integrated automation solution. So, I am proud to announce this advanced global collaboration with Rockwell Automation,” said Yoshiharu Inaba, president and CEO of Fanuc.
Rockwell Automation chairman Keith Nosbusch added, “The global collaboration is a direct response to our customers’ needs for more effective integration across manufacturing disciplines. The integration will result in better manufacturing agility and achieve a secure connected enterprise.”
