FANUC FIELD system

November 12, 2018

With FANUC’s FIELD system, manufacturers can connect ALL of their automation equipment (not just FANUC equipment) to a FIELD system Server and shop the FIELD Store for applications designed to decrease equipment downtime while improving operational efficiency, product quality, and more.

Since FIELD is a truly open platform, manufacturers have the freedom to develop and implement their own FIELD Apps tailored to their specific needs. Users can also purchase FIELD Apps written by device manufacturers (robots, machines, PLCs, sensors, etc.) to deliver advanced functionality for their equipment, or purchase FIELD Apps written by third party software developers with contextual experience and resources to deliver game changing innovative solutions.

FIELD system can be linked to higher level in-plant systems such as ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), SCM (Supply Chain Management) and MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems). FIELD can even be extended to interface with popular cloud-based platforms such as Siemens Mindsphere.

Finally, FIELD system is backed by FANUC’s world class service department and FANUC’s “service for life” guarantee, making FIELD system the perfect choice as the backbone of your smart manufacturing strategy.
