FIELD system (FANUC Intelligent Edge Link & Drive system) is an open platform for the manufacturing industry which targets improvements in productivity and efficiency. Third party developers can freely develop and sell applications and converters for devices. As various devices on the shop floor can be connected without barriers related to generation or manufacturer, centralized management of equipment and data, as well as the sharing of data are enhanced.
