Robotics and automation systems manufacturer FANUC America unveiled its 650,000-square-foot West Campus facility in Auburn Hills, Mich., giving it more than 2 million square feet in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This West Campus represents a $110 million manufacturing investment<\/a> built on 67 acres of land and is part of FANUC America’s plan to support and advance industrial automation in North America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The campus provides advanced product manufacturing and customized automation systems and includes warehouse space for more than 6,000 quick delivery robots and tens of thousands of parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mehtab Randhawa, Global Head of Industrial Research, JLL, told Commercial Property Executive<\/em>, that automation in industrial buildings increases stickiness to real estate facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOver time, the demand for automating warehouse and manufacturing facilities becomes increasingly evident,\u201d Randhawa said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEscalating competition for labor often leads to operational disruptions, but automation can serve as a solution by alleviating some of these challenges. Additionally, rising expenses related to land, labor and transportation make it crucial for tenants and occupiers to embrace facility automation as a means to prolong their stay in these properties.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FANUC America has created over 400 jobs in Michigan since 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2019, FANUC America has invested more than $187 million, including a 461,000-square-foot North Campus facility in 2019, and new headquarter facilities in Mexico and Canada last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project includes a continued renovation of a former law school on the site that will soon become the FANUC Academy, an advanced automation customer training center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After completion of the new FANUC Academy and other infrastructure projects, FANUC America will have invested over $250 million in North America, fortifying its position as an industry leader.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
