Precision, Not Payload: What Robots Actually Need to Work on Electronics Hardware

Automotive plants have had robots for 40 years and integrators on retainer. Many electronics teams don't have that depth yet, and they're being asked to automate more and at a faster pace.

Simplifying Lift Truck Automation Deployment

Today's solutions are designed to reduce the complexity of deployment with standardized, configurable automation platforms that warehouses can get up and running — sometimes in as little as a day — with little to no software engineering required.

The State of Robotic Depalletizing

One significant trend is the emergence of mixed-SKU depalletizing. As 3D vision systems continue to improve, robots will become increasingly capable of identifying and handling pallets containing different products, making this type of application more common.

The Rise of Flexible Automation within the Supply Chain

Supply chain automation will become more intelligent, connected, and adaptive. AI-driven software will continue evolving from reactive monitoring toward predictive and prescriptive capabilities that help operations rebalance workloads and automatically optimize performance.

Benefits to OEMs from Working with a Good Robotics Integrator

A good integrator acts as the bridge between the robot manufacturer and the customer's real-world operation. The OEM understands the technology extremely well, and the customer understands their business. The integrator helps bring those two sides together.

Key Features to Consider in Digital Twin and OLP Software

Together, digital twins and Offline programming (OLP) software enable manufacturers and integrators to move more of the deployment work away from the shop floor and into a safer, faster, and more flexible virtual space.

Advances in Robots to See & Interpret within Warehouse Environments

Computation is the largest hurdle. 360-degree sensor data that is granular enough to detect small obstacles in the environment is very large. For Stretch to have a real time reaction, that data has to be processed at a very high rate.

Automate 2026 Q&A with DESTACO

At Booth 2218 visitors will see a wide range of DESTACO technologies in action, including robotic gripping, tool changing, workholding, and automation solutions designed to improve flexibility, simplify integration, and increase productivity.

Tactile Sensor Technology

Humanoid robots are expected to enter our homes soon, and a sense of touch is crucial for safe and capable humanoids. Homes are challenging, unstructured and highly dynamic environments.

Automate 2026 Q&A with Mouser

Automate is North America's largest robotics and automation event, so it's a great fit for Mouser as we continue to broaden our AI portfolio. We'll be at booth #1975, so stop by to say hello.

Automate 2026 Q&A with Roboteon

At Automate Booth #19019 you'll see our platform in action -three Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) and one order picking robot (Cobot) from four different vendors operating as if a single fleet, with complete interoperability.

Automate 2026 Q&A with IDS Imaging

The U.S. is one of the most dynamic automation markets worldwide. Customers expect robust, scalable solutions, fast integration, and long-term reliability. Automate allows us to engage directly with OEMs, system integrators, and end users.

Automate 2026 Q&A with Precision Drive Systems (PDS)

Our engineering team can help improve your robotics process results, and our sales engineers can draw on a deep reservoir of knowledge and tactics for vibration analysis, on-board spindle monitoring, aggregates, and more to protect uptime.

Key Considerations for Robotics Manufacturers Ensure Secure Connected Systems

Modern robotic platforms should be designed with security as a foundational principle, incorporating architectural controls such as least-privilege execution, strong isolation between system components, and robust fault containment.

Automate 2026 Q&A with maxon

For us, Automate is less about showcasing products and more about engaging in engineering discussions, such as managing duty cycles and thermal limits, addressing torque versus size constraints, and evaluating control architectures.
