• 2026-10-20 (first record, ~4:53 PM ET, note.com, Japanese): FANUC's "AI Welding" reported to generate welding conditions and paths directly from blueprints, replacing the expert process of manually setting conditions and teaching movements (https://note.com/prime_lupine5859/n/nfa7a01057ffa?hl=en). First FANUC datapoint on the record; single-source, product-claim grade, adjacent to Hyundai's October 18 AI-welding entry. Watch: FANUC primary documentation or a named deployment, independent verification of blueprint-to-weld-path claims.
