Tom Bouchier, managing director of FANUC UK says: "The UK’s manufacturing landscape is evolving at a pace not seen for decades. This is facilitated by the productivity and efficiency benefits derived from the greater connectivity and interoperability offered by manufacturing technology. Both the MTC and AMTC have been at the forefront of developing the next generation of engineers. Given FANUC’s own commitment to fostering future engineering talent, we are delighted to be able to integrate our own technology into their facilities.”
MTC chief executive Dr Clive Hickman says he is delighted to welcome FANUC to the MTC community: “Robotics and automation are two of the MTC's key areas for developing the factories of the future. FANUC's striking yellow robots can be seen in factories around the world, and the company shares the MTC's enthusiasm for innovation, as well as an appreciation of the need to train people who can fulfill the needs of advanced manufacturing for years to come.”
