A3's Automate 2026 Opens Next Week in Chicago
North America's largest robotics and automation event brings humanoids, AI, industrial robots and the future of automation to McCormick Place June 22-25
AI Is Making Manufacturing Careers More Secure, Not Less
The challenge for manufacturers is no longer proving that these jobs are safe. It is convincing young people to choose manufacturing over other trades like electrical work, green technology, and healthcare.
How Physical AI Is Closing the Gap Between Simulation and the Shop Floor
The manufacturers who will gain competitive ground in the next two to three years are not necessarily those with the largest automation budgets. They are the ones who recognize that the constraint is no longer hardware. The constraint is intelligence.
Embodied AI: Industrial Manufacturing's Answer to the Great Margin Squeeze
Embodied AI-enabled robotics helps companies address the "great margin squeeze" head-on and shift to a high-mix manufacturing approach with faster changeovers and fewer exceptions that stop the line — without adding engineering bandwidth.
More sustainable injection moulding
Dervish Ibrahim, international sales manager at TM Robotics, explains why all-electric injection moulding machines are the way forward for reducing the process's environmental impact — while also helping manufacturers achieve a lower cost-per-part.
Automate 2026 Product Preview
Automate 2026 takes place June 22nd - 25th in Chicago, IL. The Exhibit hall floor will be loaded with new products and services. Here is a preview of some things to look forward to at this years event.
Universal Orchestration: Managing the Agentic AI Era in Manufacturing
When enterprises lack the control layer to route, govern, or make AI-generated data useful at scale, interoperability and accuracy breaks down. "Confabulation" will compound without human interaction and applied supervision.
The Real Reason Your Manufacturing AI Won't Scale
The real issue is that most manufacturers are trying to scale AI on top of fragmented data, disconnected systems and operational processes that were never designed to support it.
Let's Talk Technical: Designing Systems That Hold Up Under Pressure
Cables and connectors play an essential role in safety and ensuring machines function properly. And to ensure proper, consistent functioning, they need to be tested in some of the most demanding conditions imaginable.
Automate 2026 Q&A with Datanomix
We'll have live software demos running so you can see what real floor data and insights actually look like. We can also run your numbers through our Automation Investment Calculator on the spot.
Quality Assurance Beyond Visual Inspection in Food & Beverage Manufacturing
In food and beverage manufacturing, quality failures are not just technical events. Filling Line and Seal Inspection using thermal imaging closes a critical gap. It verifies fill levels and seal integrity on every unit without adding manual workload or slowing production.
The Hidden Cost of Tail Spend in Manufacturing

A lack of visibility and coordination across tail spend often masks pricing inconsistencies, supplier duplication, and missed opportunities, making it harder for manufacturers to control costs and reduce risk in an increasingly uncertain global environment.
How Agentic AI is Transforming Smart Manufacturing in 2026

A new phase of industrial intelligence is emerging through Agentic AI, a technology designed to make decisions, adapt to changing conditions, and complete tasks with minimal human intervention.
Automate 2026 Q&A with Onlogic
Attendees interested in bridging the gap between sophisticated software and rugged reliability should make Booth 867 in the South Hall a priority. We are focusing on the realities of Physical AI and full-facility hardware coverage through live, interactive use cases.
How L&S Machine Company Visualizes CNC Data in Real Time
L&S Machine Company needed a better way to monitor CNC machining capacity and efficiency in real time. Their previous visualization software, Factory Wiz, was expensive and required the vendor to build or update every dashboard.
