Amid the growing manufacturing demands in the United States and the Americas, U.S. robotics maker Teradyne Robotics said it will open a new U.S. operations hub in Wixom in Metro Detroit, Michigan next year.

Specifically, the new facility will manufacture Universal Robots industrial collaborative robots (cobots), with future potential to include MiR autonomous mobile robots. At the same time, it will also serve as a regional customer training center and a service hub.

This facility expands Teradyne Robotics’ presence in the Detroit area, creating over 200 jobs over the coming years and an all-new robotics technology hub supporting advanced manufacturing in Michigan, the Midwest, and throughout America.

Supports Growing Robotics Needs

Jean-Pierre Hathout, President of the Teradyne Robotics Group, said the new U.S. operations hub will support the growth of advanced robotics in the United States. “With this facility, we’re investing in both automation and education – scaling up deployment, service, and training capabilities to meet the evolving needs of U.S. manufacturing, logistics and warehousing.”

Teradyne Robotics produces a range of robots designed to work alongside people, augmenting existing workforces and creating better workplace environments for employees. Its scalable, AI-enabled robotics platforms are built for agility, flexibility and future-proof performance.

Teradyne already has a large robotics customer base in North America and a regional robotics office in Novi, Michigan. The company is based in North Reading, Massachusetts with its robotics R&D based in Denmark.

The location of the new Operations Hub was a strategic choice based on the area’s strong manufacturing heritage and industrial future.

A division of global automatic test equipment company Teredyne, Teradyne Robotics’ companies include Universal Robots and Mobile Industrial Robotics (MiR).
