Jens-Uwe Peter
Last position:
Architecture and Programming for Automotive Test Bench Platform at Automotive Supplier
In this project, I was responsible for the design and implementation of a new, modular, and highly scalable test bench platform for an automotive supplier. My focus was on developing a robust system architecture and programming the associated software, with consistent use of UML modeling throughout. This structured approach made it possible to greatly increase the reusability of individual LabVIEW test modules and to significantly reduce development time for follow-up projects. I also integrated modern automotive standards such as CAN FD, LIN, and safety requirements, which made the solution future-proof.
Technologies: LabVIEW, Visio, UML, CAN FD, LIN, DMM, Safety, image processing, project management, HMI, C#, C++, Python, Rust, CI

About the technology
FANUC in practice
FANUC is widely used in industrial automation, especially on CNC machines, robot cells, and factory lines. Companies bring in specialists for controller setup, robot programs, and line changes that need stable production.
Typical work
- CNC control commissioning and adjustments
- Robot programming for handling, welding, and palletizing
- Teach pendant work and motion tuning
- Integration with sensors, PLCs, and safety devices
Ecosystem
FANUC work often spans robot controllers, CNC controls, simulation tools, and shop-floor interfaces. Strong professionals understand alarms, backups, I/O mapping, and how the controller connects to the wider machine or cell.
When to bring in help
Teams usually seek external FANUC experts when a line is down, a new cell must be launched, or existing programs need cleanup after changes. In Germany, this is common in automotive supply, metalworking, machine building, and other export-driven production sites.
What strong specialists do
Good specialists read machine behavior fast, work cleanly with production staff, and keep changes controlled. They document parameters, test carefully, and know when a problem sits in the robot, the CNC side, or the surrounding automation.
Skills that matter
- FANUC robot and CNC control knowledge
- PLC and industrial networking basics
- Safety-minded troubleshooting
- Clear handover and documentation
- On-site coordination with production teams
Frequently asked questions
What clients ask us most about FANUC — answered in short.
FANUC is used for CNC control, industrial robots, and automated production cells. Companies rely on it for machine tool work, handling tasks, welding, palletizing, and other repeatable shop-floor processes.
FANUC is the vendor name, and people often use FANUC CNC or FANUC Robotics when they mean the controller or robot side of the ecosystem. In practice, searchers may also mean FANUC robot programs, teach pendant work, or CNC setup.
FANUC is often chosen when a site wants strong robot and CNC control in production settings. ABB and KUKA are common alternatives for robotics, while Siemens is often discussed on the control and automation side, so the right choice depends on the machine, cell, and plant standards.
A strong FANUC specialist usually also understands PLCs, industrial networks, safety circuits, and basic electrical troubleshooting. In many projects, robot or CNC work is only one part of the job, and integration with the full line matters just as much.
With FANUC, the needed depth depends on the task. Minor program edits or backup handling may need a specialist with practical shop-floor experience, while commissioning a new cell or fixing recurring faults calls for someone who has worked on similar systems before.
FANUC work can be partly remote when the issue is in code, parameters, or documentation and remote access is available. But startup, troubleshooting on live equipment, and safety checks usually need on-site support, especially in Germany-based plants with tight production windows.
A good FANUC expert explains the problem clearly, makes safe changes, and leaves clean backups and documentation. Look for someone who can trace faults methodically, test under real conditions, and hand over a system that production teams can keep running.
FANUC freelancers are often hired for robot commissioning, program adjustments, line changeovers, controller backup recovery, and fault finding. They may also support upgrades, cycle-time improvements, and integration work with surrounding automation in Germany or remotely.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used FANUC in their recent projects is 100 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 802 € based on an 8-hour working day.
Of the freelancers in Germany who have used FANUC in their recent projects, 85% hold at least a Bachelor's degree, 38% hold at least a Master's degree, and 8% hold a doctorate.
On average, freelancers in Germany who have used FANUC in their recent projects have 28 years of professional experience, with a single engagement typically lasting around 2.3 years.
The most common languages among freelancers in Germany who have used FANUC in their recent projects are German (100%), English (94%), and French (12%).
The most common industries among freelancers in Germany who have used FANUC in their recent projects are Manufacturing (100%), Automotive (82%), and Information Technology (41%).
The most common business areas among freelancers in Germany who have used FANUC in their recent projects are Product Development (94%), Operations (82%), and Information Technology (76%).
