Earlier today, FANUC UK announced it has a worldwide installed base of over 400,000 industrial robots, a new world record for the industry.
Production has doubled in the last 7 years. The recent drivers behind reaching this major milestone have been the popularity of the FANUC R-2000i Series, LR Mate series, and the CR-35iA, collaborative green robot. The FANUC R-2000i and LR Mate series are the company’s highest selling robots, while the collaborative robot has attracted new attention of customers. Collaborative robots brought a variety of benefits to the manufacturing plant floor including improved employee welfare and increased cost savings.
