Factory Innovation Week 2025

Join us at Factory Innovation Week 2026 in Osaka, taking place 13–15 May 2026.

Factory Innovation Week is a key event for manufacturing professionals to explore the latest developments in robotics, factory automation, digitalization, and smart manufacturing technologies. The event places strong emphasis on modern production equipment and digital solutions supporting next-generation factory operations.

At our stand K38-30 in the RoboDEX zone, visitors can experience how 3D manufacturing simulation and offline robot programming support the full production lifecycle, from early layout and process design to validation, optimization, and deployment. Visual Components will present both of its product lines, demonstrating how manufacturers can design and simulate complete production systems, analyze material flow, and create accurate robot programs using 3D CAD data without interrupting production.

The solutions are accessible to users without extensive programming expertise and support all levels of automation, from simple, interactive workflows to fully automated, model-based approaches. Compatibility with major industrial robot brands, production processes, and system complexities helps manufacturers improve quality, increase robot utilization, and maximize production output.

This participation reflects Visual Components’ continued commitment to the Japanese market. With a local presence in Tokyo, the company supports manufacturers, system integrators, and machine builders across industries such as automotive, electronics, machine tools, and advanced manufacturing.

Visit us at stand K38-30 (RoboDEX zone) to discover how Visual Components supports digital factory planning, simulation, and robot programming in modern manufacturing environments. We look forward to seeing you in Osaka.
