Hello All,
I'm currently researching for solutions to an issue.
We currently run an automated stamping press line with integrated Fanuc robots for the part handling between the presses.
When we change jobs, we move via PC with fanuc fileserve 5 files. 4 files are .tp and one .vr file.
We use fanuc fileserve to load and backup the job files from all 7 robots, then the files are systematically saved to our server.
Here is the issue.
The system PC is XP, the version of fanuc file serve will only run on XP.
Our company is moving away from XP machines.
I have been told ( did not confirm with fanuc) that fanuc does not have a newer version of file serve that will run on windows 7 or above.
Can anyone confirm this?
Is there an alternative to Fanuc fileserve that can be setup to function the way it does?
Our press line leads need to be able to move and back up the files which is easy for them to do with the simple point and click layout of fileserve.
Thank you for your assistance!
