AUTOMATION specialist FANUC UK has appointed a dedicated business development manager for Scotland and the north of England.
Tony Bentham will be tasked with helping businesses and academic institutions embrace robotics to enhance their productivity, sustainability and profitability.
With more than 36 years’ experience at FANUC UK, Tony will aim to help organisations maximise their potential and future-proof operations in the face of challenges such as rising energy bills, labour shortages, and increasing overseas competition. He will support manufacturers, engineering firms, academic institutions, and industry leaders to leverage smart automation solutions to drive innovation, R&D, and competitive growth.
“The need for automation is more crucial than ever, yet some businesses across the north and Scotland still lack a clear understanding of the key benefits and potential returns of robotics,” Tony said. “Equally, there are other organisations that have already begun to embrace automation in their facilities, but require expert guidance to take the next step to enable them to realise its full benefits.
“Having a trusted local specialist on hand will serve to bridge this gap, helping firms to not only maximise their existing automation potential but also understand how new technologies can enhance their capabilities even further.”
