ACS Expands Integrated Facility and Automation Capabilities With FANUC Robotics Certification

ACS has announced its certification as a FANUC systems integrator, a move that expands the company’s ability to deliver fully integrated facility design and automation solutions. By combining facility engineering, controls expertise, and certified FANUC robotics integration under one provider, ACS aims to reduce project complexity for manufacturers transitioning from manual processes to automated workflows.

The company’s approach allows customers to work with a single partner from facility concept through robotics programming and commissioning. This model is particularly relevant for aerospace and advanced manufacturing environments where facility layout, test infrastructure, and automation systems must operate as a cohesive whole.

Robotics Integration Embedded Into Facility Design

ACS engineers evaluate how FANUC robotics can be incorporated into both new and existing facilities to streamline operations and improve throughput. The company is expanding its robotics lab and training programs to deepen hands on experience with FANUC technologies, ensuring its teams can design automation solutions that are integrated into facility architecture from the outset.

Senior automation engineer Austin Levin noted that bringing FANUC systems directly into ACS’s training environment strengthens the company’s ability to engineer robotics solutions that align with real world production needs.

Cleanroom Robotics Extend Aerospace Applications

As part of its investment in robotics capabilities, ACS has added a FANUC cleanroom robot to support automation in controlled environments. This addition enhances the company’s established cleanroom facility expertise and enables new applications for aerospace, automotive, and precision manufacturing customers that require contamination controlled processes.

Integrated Approach Aligns Automation With Facility Strategy

FANUC’s reputation for reliability, combined with ACS’s facility design and systems integration capabilities, allows manufacturers to treat automation as a core element of facility planning rather than a standalone challenge. This alignment helps ensure that robotics systems operate seamlessly within the physical and operational constraints of the spaces ACS designs.
