Abstract:

States that 16 years have passed since the commencement of operation of FANUC’s existing factory for assembling servo motors, the company’s staple products. The factory has attained a monthly production capacity of 25,000 units through persistent efforts to improve robotization and automation. To further improve productivity and enhance production capacity, FANUC recently constructed a new servo motor assembly factory. It employs the most up-to-date robots and linear motors. The new factory has a monthly production capacity of 50,000 units. This article introduces the new factory, focusing on the features of the physical distribution and production technologies it uses.
