FANUC has confirmed plans to again open the doors to the firm’s UK HQ to demonstrate how automation is now accessible for manufacturing businesses of all sizes.
Taking place on 3-4 November in Coventry, the free-to-attend FANUC Open House will highlight robotic solutions designed to help manufacturers tackle challenges such as labour shortages, rising energy costs and product inconsistency. Following the two-day event, FANUC’s Coventry HQ will also host the annual BARA Conference.
This year’s Open House will feature seminars, panel debates, industry discussions and case studies. An exhibition running throughout will showcase the latest robotic technology from FANUC and more than 30 of its system integrator partners and suppliers, showing solutions spanning every corner of British manufacturing from engineering, food and packaging to pharma, plastics and toolmaking.
FANUC added that this year’s event will have a particular focus on supporting SMEs to realise their automation potential. Presentations and demonstrations will feature technology designed to deliver immediate value, as well as the ability to flex as a business evolves.
“Today’s intelligent automation solutions are fast, consistent and adaptable, as well as being extremely reliable,” said Andy Armstrong, FANUC UK’s MD. “Unlike complicated robotic systems of the past, they’re simple to operate and can be easily integrated into existing lines, complementing older machinery to enhance working practices, increase efficiency and boost productivity.
“At our 2026 Open House event, we’ll be demonstrating just how far automation has evolved in the past few years, showcasing solutions that are user-friendly and cost-efficient. With the UK currently sitting outside the global top 10 in terms of manufacturing output, automation is no longer a ‘nice to have’ for British manufacturers – it’s a business necessity.”
