Story

The Advanced Manufacturing Technology program at Gateway Technical College, located in Southwest Wisconsin, develops a highly skilled workforce to install, operate and maintain advanced automation solutions. The school uses FANUC products, including robotics, software, CNC Simulators, and ROBODRILLS, to give students hands-on experiences with real-world equipment that aligns with employers’ needs. FANUC reseller Lab Midwest helped the school attain the FANUC products needed to train next-generation manufacturers.

FANUC in many ways helped lead the cause to integrate those technologies in what you see behind me. When students come into this lab, when industrial employers come into this lab, when parents come into this lab, they see the future of manufacturing. They understand where the world of advanced manufacturing is going.
