Manufacturers see the business benefits of automating manual processes, but also realize that this opportunity will require hiring people with the right skills.
FANUC America recognized years ago that companies wanted to add more technology, but there was not enough supply of skilled workers in the field to support the demand. Within FANUC there are two pathways to workforce solutions, upskilling incumbent workers and developing talent in the pipeline. FANUC America has the FANUC Academy consisting of intense training course or employers to upskill their workers and FANUC America also started the Certified Education Program (CERT), to help build a talent pool with current and relevant skills in manufacturing.
