en.Wedoany.com Reported - FANUC UK will showcase collaborative automation solutions at the Smart Factory Expo, taking place from June 3 to 4 at the NEC in Birmingham, at booth F40. Joining the display are three system integrator partners: Cyan Tec, Cyber-Weld, and Expert Technologies. Visitors can watch live automation demonstrations, including collaborative augmented reality welding, advanced sensing and vision systems, transfer and handling solutions, and a modular automation platform known as the "factory in a box."

Cyan Tec specializes in designing precision engineering systems for high-end manufacturing sectors such as aerospace, automotive, defense, and medical devices. At the expo, the company will set up a live "technology showcase" unit at the FANUC booth, demonstrating how top-tier automation modules can be integrated into a single compact system. The demonstration unit combines FANUC robotic automation, advanced sensing and vision systems, high-speed drives, gripper technology, industrial communication protocols, air-gap safety concepts, and high-end PLC and HMI interfaces—technologies commonly found in Cyan Tec's real-world applications.

Cyber-Weld is a FANUC-certified system integrator specializing in custom robotic welding systems. At the expo, it will showcase its flagship product—the Soldamatic augmented reality welding unit equipped with a FANUC CRX10-iA collaborative robot. The unit offers a variety of virtual welding environments that simulate real-world scenarios, helping employees rapidly improve their welding skills while reducing material waste and consumable costs throughout the training process.

Expert Technologies, also a long-term FANUC partner, will display its Flexcell modular automation platform, referred to as the "factory in a box." This platform can seamlessly scale from early-stage prototyping to full-scale production without costly design overhauls. Suitable for various applications including manufacturing, assembly, inspection, testing, and material handling, its phased implementation approach can reduce waste and time-to-value by up to 20%.

Oliver Selby, Head of Sales at FANUC UK, stated: "FANUC's integrator network brings together industry expertise from multiple sectors, with each partner offering tailored automation solutions. We are proud to showcase the solutions of three of these partners at the Smart Factory Expo, demonstrating live how they successfully integrate FANUC robots to help UK manufacturers improve cost efficiency, optimize production, and deliver tangible value."
