ABB to Unleash the Power of OmniCore at Automate 2025
• North America’s first full-scale OmniCore showcase • Unlocking faster, smarter, autonomous automation • Robotic demos span automotive, cobots, software & more
ABB Robotics will unveil a powerful lineup of robotic demos at Automate 2025, May 12-15 at Huntington Place in Detroit (Main Booth #2632; Education Pavilion #8614), showcasing its new OmniCore™ controller — a transformative control platform delivering faster, more precise and more autonomous automation across ABB's entire robot portfolio.
This will be the first full-scale U.S. debut of OmniCore, which streamlines installation and programming while boosting performance. Developed through a $170 million investment, OmniCore is ABB's most advanced control platform yet, a unique, single architecture that integrates ABB Robotics' complete range of hardware and software, for flexible, future-ready automation.
Built to Scale: One Control Platform for Every Robot
OmniCore's modular design allows users to build and manage robotics systems that range from single cobots to large-scale, multi-robot production cells, able to integrate ABB's entire portfolio of robots, mechatronics platforms and software, from industrial robots to mobile robots and cobots, and its suite of advanced, AI-powered software tools, including AI, sensor, cloud and edge computing systems.
It's also the latest example of ABB's rich heritage as the original robotics innovator, driving robotics forward, by engineering and commercializing new technologies and innovations — from launching the world's first microprocessor-controlled robot in 1974, to industrializing robot eyes, hands ,brains and mobility through the pioneering application of AI.
