Industrial Robotics for Education - FANUC CERT Program
Industrial robots training in the classroom can safely be achieved through the CERT Program. FANUC America provides the necessary training to the instructor as well as a curriculum to introduce students to robot applications including: integrated vision systems (iRVision), programming a logic controller, and using ROBOGUIDE simulation software.
CRX Collaborative Robot Series
FANUC’s new CRX Cobots are safe, flexible, quick to implement, and easy to program. All with FANUC renowned reliability and 8 years of maintenance-free operations to meet the production needs of today’s manufacturers.
FANUC Certified Education Training
FANUC certified education programs provide industry-relevant training and competency-based skills development across the FANUC robotics product lines. FANUC collaborates with other industry technology leaders in automation, advanced manufacturing, Authorized System Integrators and academia to develop certification programs that address the needs of employers and align with secondary and post-secondary programs of study. FANUC is an authorized provider of Continuing Education Units. All FANUC educational programs meet the national ANSI/IACET standards. FANUC education programs are directly aligned to meet the nationally recognized certifications provided through NOCTI, MSSC, SACA, NIMS, AMTEC and more...
Our programs provide manufacturers and educators with a STEM-based curriculum centered on robot programming and operation. Withe the majority of industry turning to FANUC robots, graduates who are familiar with FANUC equipment and systems have an advantage over their competitors in the job market.
The need for skilled workers with automation training certifications is growing. According to the Manufacturing Institute, there are over 600,000 unfilled manufacturing positions in the US, but many applicants lack the skills and training to do the job. With the number of highly skilled manufacturing jobs continuing to outpace the pool of trained candidates, this gap is expected to grow. The prediction highlights that over two million manufacturing jobs will go unfilled.
Solutions to Fit Any Curriculum
With over 25 million products installed worldwide, FANUC is the most common platform in automation. When students enter the workforce, chances are they will be working on a FANUC robot. Students trained on FANUC products will be better equipped to hit the ground running and be productive from the start.
