49 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE FEBRUARY 2020 FALLAS AUTOMAT ION, INC . Cox also gives due credit to one of Fallas’ long- time partners, Schneider Electric, with whom it has had a good relationship for the past 13 years. “We started using their platform to develop one of our flagship machines we call the R700 Adabot,” he recounts. “We designed that back in 2006. We contacted a couple of our vendors and asked them if we could do this fairly complicated kinematic profile, and Schneider, which was known as Elau at the time, was the only one that proved they could do it. So, they sent a guy from Germany and he was able to conceptually create this machine. We’ve had a few different technical support people that we’ve worked with since then. Our main support is a senior technical engineer from Schneider Electric. He’s been helpful in keeping this machine at the top of our list and making sure that it’s performing exactly how we need it to and developing it over the last few years with better speed and performance. We’ve really enjoyed that relationship with Schneider Electric; we can always call on them and get responses, instantly.”
