Visual Components opens its first office in Japan and Asia

Visual Components, a company engaged in manufacturing simulation and robot offline programming software, has opened an office in Tokyo, Japan. Founded in Finland, this strategic expansion marks a significant milestone in the company’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge automation technology and exceptional service to its manufacturing customers and partners in Japan.

The Tokyo office will serve as a hub for Visual Components’ operations in Japan, enabling Visual Components to better support local industries, including automotive, electronics, machine tool builders and advanced manufacturing. By establishing a presence in Japan, the company aims to meet the growing demand for efficient and reliable offline programming solutions in one of the world’s most technologically advanced markets.

“Japan has long been a global leader in robotics and automation making it the ideal location for our newest office,” said Masaaki Nakamura, Country Manager, Japan of Visual Components. 

“Japan also faces a significant shortage of skilled welders and other manufacturing jobs, posing a threat to the economy. Our manufacturing simulation software and robot offline programming (OLP) software can significantly reduce training time and resources, mitigating these risks and costs. This expansion allows us to deepen our footprint in Japan and collaborate closely with manufacturing industry to provide localized support to our customers.” Masaaki Nakamura, Country Manager of Visual Components Japan, continues.

The Tokyo office will focus on: localized support on robot offline programming, manufacturing simulation sales and technical assistance; partnerships and collaboration: building strong relationships with regional businesses and partners to advance the field of robotics and automation; and best-in-class offline programming software.

Visual Components’ robot offline programming (OLP) software  makes robot programming accessible to users without extensive technical knowledge. It enables companies to create efficient, error-free robot programs on computers using 3D CAD data without interrupting production lines. The fast and easy OLP software supports all levels of automation, from one-click programming to fully automated model-based definition. It is compatible with major industrial robot brands, processes and complexities, helping customers to maximize quality, robot utilization rate and production output.
