As well as an educational cobot cell, Stand 4-B80 will also play host to the qualifying round of the WorldSkills UK 2024 Industrial Robotics competition. With this year’s contest attracting a record number of entrants, the standard is expected to be extremely high, with the most successful teams of students aged 16+ making it through to the National Finals at FANUC’s Open House this November and a chance to represent Squad UK at the International Finals in Shanghai.
“Our place as a leading manufacturing nation can only be maintained by increasing our levels of industrial automation,” said Fanuc UK’s head of sales, Oliver Selby. “Smart Factory Expo is the perfect platform to showcase not only the best of what we offer here at FANUC, but also to highlight how our partners are uniquely positioned to help manufacturers improve their efficiency, boost their productivity, and overcome labour challenges. Ensuring we are creating a robust talent pipeline in the engineering and manufacturing sectors is also key to our future success. Initiatives like the WorldSkills UK competition, which we are proud to partner once again for the fourth consecutive year, are critical to inspiring more young people to follow a career path in this exciting industry.”
