The company says operators can run the generated setup as-is or fine-tune it before welding. Drawings are captured with the built-in camera of the FANUC CRX tablet teach pendant; no extra camera or dedicated device is required. FANUC says the system works with any welding power supply connected to a FANUC robot and that production data processed by Gemini Enterprise is not used to train other users’ AI models. A live demonstration is scheduled at the International Welding Show beginning September 16, with shipments scheduled to begin by the end of December 2026. These are company-announced capabilities and dates; the release provides no independent performance results or deployment metrics.
