Name: Brian Roskuszka

Position: Application Engineer

Place of Birth: Wheaton, IL

Studies: Electrical Engineering, Robotics

Working at Fuji Since: 2019

Brian started to work for Fuji when it expanded its engineering department in 2019. He supports existing robots and overseas some of our new robot installations. He also provides our integrators with remote support and assists with on-site service.

Brian comes from a robotics background at university and enjoys working with big robots in our shop. He set up the live demonstrations for our open house last year at our headquarters in Elk Grove Village, IL.

When he is not supporting our integrators or laying out palletizing cells, he is learning as much as he can with our robots out in the shop. He uses that knowledge to train our Fuji Certified Technicians on how to work with the robots. He is looking forward to another great year with the company.

Fuji Robotics delivers your goods untouched by people amid pandemic

Getting products from one place to another with as little human contact as possible is becoming an imperative for businesses as many companies adapt to the coronavirus pandemic, seeking to minimize the risk of infections to their employees and customers.

Fuji Robotics is looking forward to helping you out, especially now when a labor shortage is already putting pressure on companies to find ways to run their business with less people.

There are still a lot of areas where humans are needed in logistic facilities. If the number of staff in warehouses is restricted to prevent transmission of coronavirus, that could limit your production capacity and turn it into lost sales opportunities.

This is a time where the incentives for automation have gone up. There may be a drop in demand from automakers as the pandemic depresses sales of automobiles across the globe, and the logistics sector could make up for that decline.
