Concepts for tomorrow's production

At Automatica, FANUC and 20 partners showed how "Automated Intelligence" is changing industrial production. The FASTSUITE newsroom team had the opportunity to talk to Jürgen Barth, Key Account Manager at FANUC Germany.

Mr. Barth, the FANUC partner booth at Automatica illustrates the strength of networks that manufacturing companies need for a sustainable industry 4.0 strategy. What is FANUC's approach to data networking? What is your Industrial-Internet-of Things (IIot) approach?

We have launched the FIELD system – FIELD stands for FANUC Intelligent Edge Link & Drive System. It is an open platform that supports simultaneous use of different IIoT applications within a production facility.
