Last position:
Architecture and programming for an automotive test bench platform at Automotive supplier
In this project, I was responsible for designing and implementing 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 UML modeling used consistently throughout. This structured approach significantly increased the reusability of individual LabVIEW test modules and sustainably reduced development time for subsequent projects. I also integrated modern automotive standards such as CAN FD, LIN, and safety requirements, making 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
What FANUC covers
FANUC is a major industrial automation ecosystem covering robots, CNC controls, servo systems and factory automation software. Companies use it to build and operate welding, handling, assembly, machining, palletising and inspection cells. Its hardware is common in automotive, aerospace, electronics, logistics and general manufacturing.
Robots and CNC
FANUC robot families support applications from small-payload assembly to heavy material handling. Specialists configure motion, tooling, safety zones and end-of-arm equipment, while CNC professionals work with FANUC controls on turning, milling and multi-axis machining. The right setup connects robot movement with machine status, sensors and production sequences.
Ecosystem and tooling
FANUC expertise often includes the wider toolset around the controller and cell:
- TP programming, teach pendant operation and motion optimisation
- ROBOGUIDE simulation, offline programming and reach studies
- KAREL, iRVision and vision-guided handling
- PLC, HMI, fieldbus and industrial network integration
- CNC commissioning, servo tuning and data exchange
When companies need specialists
Companies bring in freelance FANUC professionals during a new cell build, equipment upgrade or production ramp-up. They may need support when an integrator lacks capacity, a legacy controller must be modernised or recurring downtime points to a programming or configuration issue. In Germany, projects often combine remote preparation with on-site commissioning at a plant.
Typical deliverables
A specialist can produce robot programs, CNC parameter sets, simulation results, risk-relevant cell documentation and commissioning plans. Other deliverables include cycle-time improvements, backup and restore procedures, operator training, fault diagnosis and interfaces to PLC or manufacturing systems. Clear version control and tested recovery steps matter as much as the initial program.
What strong professionals bring
Strong FANUC professionals understand the complete production process, not only robot syntax or controller parameters. They can read electrical and mechanical documentation, communicate with machine builders and production teams, and isolate faults safely. Practical knowledge of Siemens or other PLC environments, industrial safety, CAD data and manufacturing quality requirements is often valuable alongside FANUC expertise.
Frequently asked questions
What clients ask us most about FANUC — answered in short.
FANUC is used for industrial robots, CNC machining controls, servo motion and automated production cells. Companies apply it to welding, assembly, machine tending, palletising, material handling, painting and inspection.
FANUC is often weighed against KUKA and ABB for robot cells, while Siemens and other control ecosystems may be considered for CNC or factory automation. The best choice depends on existing equipment, integrator knowledge, application requirements, service expectations and the skills already available at the plant.
A strong FANUC specialist may also work with PLCs, HMIs, industrial networks, machine vision, safety systems and CAD-based simulation. Experience with Siemens controls, KAREL, ROBOGUIDE, iRVision and manufacturing data interfaces can be particularly useful.
The required depth depends on the work. FANUC programming for a defined robot task may need a different profile than a full cell integration, safety validation or CNC commissioning project. Ask for evidence of comparable applications, controller versions and successful commissioning in a similar production setting.
FANUC programming, simulation, documentation and offline troubleshooting can often be prepared remotely from Germany or elsewhere. Physical installation, teach pendant work, safety checks and final commissioning usually require on-site access, so define the site phases and remote access rules early.
FANUC is used across manufacturing environments in Germany, including automotive supply, machining, electronics, logistics and general industry. Local projects may require German-language communication with operators and maintenance teams, even when technical documentation or project meetings use English.
Ask a FANUC professional to explain a comparable cell, the decisions behind its motion strategy and how faults were diagnosed. Review programming structure, safety awareness, backup discipline, simulation practice and commissioning records rather than judging only by familiarity with product names.
Before starting a FANUC assignment, clarify the robot or CNC controller, software access, cell layout, PLC interfaces, safety responsibilities and site constraints. Also confirm whether the work covers offline programming, on-site commissioning, production support or training, because each requires different preparation.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used FANUC in their recent projects is 99 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 792 € 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, 46% 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 2.1 years.
