FANUC announces AI Welding Agent developed with Google Cloud
FANUC announced AI Welding Agent, a Google Cloud-enabled system that reads component drawings, generates robot arc-welding programs and executes them on FANUC robots.
Evidence notes
- The system is independent of the welding power source and can work with any compatible power supply connected to a FANUC robot.
- Customers can subscribe through existing FANUC contracts without necessarily arranging a separate Google Cloud enterprise agreement.
- FANUC plans a live demonstration from September 16 and intends to begin shipments by the end of December 2026.
