Expansion momentum Yaskawa Motoman is actively expanding manufacturing and automation capabilities in North America, including a new state-of-the-art robotics facility in Franklin, Wisconsin with a reported $180M investment, signaling strong demand and potential for large-scale robotics, integration, and material handling projects.

Warehouse solutions The company recently launched robotic warehouse solutions in North America, backed by engineering from Europe and pre-launch US sites, presenting a clear up-sell opportunity for automated storage, picking, packing, and palletizing systems.

AI welding synergy Strategic integration with Novarc Technologies to combine NovAI autonomy with Motoman six-axis robots highlights opportunities in high-throughput AI-enabled welding cells for automotive, aerospace, and contract manufacturers seeking productivity gains.

Industrial footprint With a broad installed base of over 540,000 Motoman robots and a wide portfolio of more than 150 robot models across varied applications, there is substantial cross-sell potential for upgrades, retrofits, and pre-engineered work cells in diverse industries.

North America focus Recent and planned investments, expansions, and FABTECH Canada presence position Motoman as a strong partner for North American manufacturers seeking localized support, regional service contracts, and on-site deployment for material handling, packaging, and assembly automation.
