Factory Innovation Week 2025
Earlier this spring, Visual Components joined Factory Innovation Week in Osaka for the first time – our debut tradeshow in Japan and Asia with our own stand.
Now, we’re thrilled to announce that we are heading to the Nagoya edition of Factory Innovation Week 2025!
Special emphasis is placed on modern production equipment in robotics, digitalization, automation, and other technology for smart factory solutions. By visiting our booth, you will have the chance to see firsthand how our innovative tools can transform your manufacturing operations. Our best-in-class offline programming software makes robot programming accessible to users without extensive technical knowledge. It enables companies to create efficient, error-free robot programs on computers using 3D CAD data without interrupting production lines. The fast and easy OLP software supports all levels of automation, from one-click programming to fully automated model-based definition. It is compatible with major industrial robot brands, processes, and complexities, helping our customers to maximize quality, robot utilization rate, and production output.
This participation also aligns with our recent expansion into Japan. Visual Components has opened a new office in Tokyo, marking a significant milestone in our commitment to delivering cutting-edge automation technology and exceptional service to our customers and partners in Japan. The Tokyo office will serve as a hub for our operations in Japan, enabling us to better support local industries, including automotive, electronics, machine tool builders, and advanced manufacturing.
Don’t miss the chance to discover the future of manufacturing with Visual Components at Factory Innovation Week 2025 in Nagoya, Japan. Come visit us at RoboDEX, booth N35-31!
