Driving Precision, Productivity and Smarter Plastics Manufacturing Through Automation
Meet the companies behind the technology at Plastics Live Ireland 2026.
As manufacturers across Ireland look to improve productivity, reduce energy consumption and invest in more efficient production processes, automation is becoming an increasingly important part of their operations.
At Plastics Live Ireland 2026, FANUC will be connecting with manufacturers to explore how advanced robotics, electric injection moulding technology and intelligent automation can help businesses overcome production challenges and prepare for the future.
We caught up with the FANUC team to learn more about their technologies, the challenges facing manufacturers and what visitors can expect from them at this year’s event.
FANUC is one of the world’s leading providers of factory automation solutions, supporting manufacturers across Ireland with industrial robots, CNC systems, machine tools, injection moulding technology and integrated automation solutions.
Through its Irish operation, FANUC helps businesses improve productivity, quality, reliability and competitiveness, combining proven automation technologies with expert local support and service.
For FANUC, Plastics Live Ireland is about connecting manufacturers with the people and expertise behind the technology.
Throughout the event, the FANUC team will be available to discuss automation challenges, share industry insights and explore opportunities with plastics manufacturers.
A key focus will be the latest developments in FANUC’s ROBOSHOT electric injection moulding machine range, including the new C Series models.
Visitors can discover how the latest generation of ROBOSHOT technology supports greater precision, improved energy efficiency and highly repeatable production performance.
Whether you’re considering automation for the first time or looking to optimise an existing production process, FANUC’s specialists will be on hand to offer practical advice and discuss potential solutions.
Manufacturers are facing growing pressure to increase output, manage labour shortages, reduce waste and meet sustainability targets without compromising product quality.
FANUC helps businesses address these challenges through automation technologies designed to:
By combining reliable automation with expert application support, FANUC helps manufacturers achieve greater control over their processes and make more effective use of their resources.
Plastics Live Ireland offers FANUC an opportunity to connect directly with manufacturers, processors, moulders, OEMs and industry partners from across Ireland.
The event provides a platform to strengthen existing relationships, establish new connections and better understand the challenges and investment priorities shaping the Irish plastics sector.
FANUC is particularly looking forward to meeting businesses exploring automation, productivity improvements and future manufacturing investments, while sharing its expertise and discussing emerging technologies.
FANUC sees automation, sustainability, energy efficiency and data-driven manufacturing as key developments shaping the industry’s future.
As manufacturers seek greater flexibility, productivity and operational resilience, demand for smarter, more connected production environments will continue to grow.
Technologies that connect machinery, processes and production data will play an increasingly important role in helping businesses improve visibility, minimise waste and optimise performance.
For manufacturers, the ability to combine precision engineering with intelligent automation will be essential to remaining competitive.
Regional industry events like Plastics Live Ireland create valuable opportunities for manufacturers, suppliers, innovators and technical specialists to connect in a focused, accessible environment.
They offer a practical way to discover new technologies, exchange knowledge and discuss real manufacturing challenges without the time and expense associated with larger international exhibitions.
FANUC encourages anyone involved in plastics manufacturing, or considering future investment in automation and production technology, to attend, meet industry experts and explore the opportunities available.
Looking to improve precision, reduce production costs or take the next step in automation?
Connect with the FANUC team at Plastics Live Ireland 2026 to discuss your manufacturing challenges, explore the latest developments in electric injection moulding and discover opportunities to improve your production performance.
