FANUC America recently held a grand opening celebration for its new 461,000 sq. ft. North campus robotics and automation facility in Auburn Hills, MI.

Those in attendance included customers, local officials, educators and suppliers. Special guests included Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Auburn Hills Mayor Kevin McDaniel and Rochester Hills Mayor Bryan Barnett.

Constructed and in full operation just one year after breaking ground, the new facility houses several departments, including engineering, product development, manufacturing and warehousing. To keep pace with the growing demand for robots and automation, FANUC occupies over 1 million sq. ft. of building space in Oakland County, MI.

FANUC had an automation tour path at the event that included over 20 robot demonstrations, from its smallest M-1iA delta robot to the M-2000iA, a robot able to lift 2.3 tons. There were also a variety of hands-on cobot demonstrations that highlighted easy set-up and programming. Additional demonstrations included real-world robotic solutions for assembly, material handling, packaging, palletizing, painting and welding. Most of the solutions included FANUC intelligence such as integrated iRVision designed to give the robots a sense of sight.

A key tour stop during the grand opening featured two FANUC CR-15iA cobots packing bags of weekend nutrition for a local Michigan chapter of Blessings in a Backpack, a non-profit organization that provides children living in food-insecure households with bags of food for the weekend.

FANUC's products are used in a wide range of industries, including automotive, aerospace, consumer goods, e-commerce, food and beverage, medical device and pharmaceuticals. The company's line of painting robots and a variety of automation software products have been designed and built in Michigan since 1982.
