West Campus

FANUC America's West Campus in Auburn Hills is a 650,000-square-foot robotics and automation facility for advanced product manufacturing, customized automation systems and robot warehousing. FANUC opened the $110 million campus in July 2024. The company says it created more than 400 Michigan jobs across its broader operations since 2019, but does not attribute a project-specific employment figure to West Campus; AFT therefore records zero attributable permanent jobs and excludes companywide employment growth.

FANUC's figure of more than 400 jobs covers its cumulative Michigan job creation since 2019, not this campus alone.

Why this project qualifies

With $110 million in facility-specific investment, this project clears AFT's $100 million investment threshold (AFT includes any project meeting $100 million in facility-specific investment OR 100 permanent operating jobs). It is also confirmed by official public sources and involves a physical manufacturing facility in the United States.

Why it matters

The robotics & automation context.

Robotics & Automation tracks qualifying U.S. facilities manufacturing industrial robots, humanoid robots, automated systems and related robotic equipment. The category follows the physical production sites where robotics companies build machines and core components, while distinguishing them from software-only, research-only, warehouse-operations and end-user deployment projects.
