Our 2026 Presenters

Antaira Technologies

Managed Networking by Paul Tungseth

Antaira Technologies specializes in industrial networking solutions, offering a range of managed Ethernet switches designed for harsh environments. These managed devices provide advanced features like Quality of Service (QoS), VLANs, and redundancy protocols to ensure reliable, high-performance data communication. By offering granular control and monitoring, Antaira’s managed networking equipment helps optimize system uptime and simplifies network maintenance in critical industrial applications.

SICK, Inc

3D Vision by Ryan Morris

SICK is widely recognized for its high-performance 3D vision portfolio, specifically through their ROCC (Rapid On-Chip Calculation) technology which enables industry-leading profile rates up to 69 kHz. For engineering teams, their strength lies in the Ranger3 and Ruler3000 series, which deliver factory-calibrated, sub-millimeter precision regardless of an object’s color or contrast. By combining 3D geometry, reflectance, and scattered light data in a single scan, SICK provides a robust, “all-in-one” data stream that simplifies complex inspection and robot guidance tasks.

Bosch Rexroth

ctrlX by Brian Kautzman and Garrett Wagg

ctrlX AUTOMATION is an open, modular, and scalable automation platform developed by Bosch Rexroth that unifies control, IT, and IoT technologies. Its core is the ctrlX CORE industrial control system, which runs on a Linux-based operating system and enables seamless integration of various functions and third-party apps. This innovative system significantly simplifies engineering processes, reduces complexity, and accelerates the development of future-proof automation solutions.

Advanced Sensing

Barcoding

Omron provides a comprehensive suite of industrial barcode and 2D code readers critical for tracking, traceability, and quality control in manufacturing environments. These devices offer high-speed, reliable decoding of various code types, including challenging DPM (Direct Part Mark) codes, ensuring accurate data capture even on difficult surfaces. Omron’s integration of vision technology into their barcoding solutions helps manufacturers maintain regulatory compliance and optimize inventory management.

FESTO

Electrification by Eric Rice

Festo supports the industrial shift toward electrification by offering an extensive portfolio of electric drives, actuators, and motion control systems to replace traditional pneumatic solutions. Their electric automation products provide precise control, high efficiency, and flexibility, allowing for complex motion profiles and significant energy savings. This focus on electrification helps manufacturers future-proof their operations by reducing reliance on compressed air and improving overall machine performance.

Flexible Part Feeding

Part Feeding

Asyril’s solutions primarily focus on flexible part feeding and precise handling of components, but their systems often incorporate integrated vision for part identification. Their technology uses smart vision to quickly and accurately determine the orientation and position of various bulk components, making them ready for robotic manipulation. This efficient part identification is crucial for increasing the flexibility and throughput of automated assembly processes.

Mecademic

Small Part Picking by Naveentha Krishnan Krishnan

Mecademic specializes in the smallest, most compact industrial robots, making them ideal for high-precision, small parts picking and placement applications. Their miniature robotic arms offer exceptional accuracy and repeatability within a tiny footprint, which is invaluable in space-constrained environments like electronics assembly or medical device manufacturing. These robots enable manufacturers to automate delicate tasks with precision that traditional industrial robots cannot match.
