ROCHESTER HILLS, Mich., May 27, 2026. FANUC America debuted a dedicated Cobot and Go booth (#1001) at Automate 2026, running June 22 to 26 at McCormick Place in Chicago. The booth features pre-engineered collaborative robot systems built for rapid deployment and developed with leading system integrators and distributors.

The idea is to lower the barrier to automation. Many manufacturers want to automate but hesitate to take on complex, fixed systems, so FANUC is showing collaborative, out-of-the-box solutions that arrive on mobile carts and set up quickly on the shop floor.

What is in the booth

  • Dispense Buddy (Mission Design and Automation)
  • TOMA palletizing solution (Premier Tech)
  • EZPainter (Robotic Technical Support Services)
  • ATLIS AI Track and Inspect (Genuine Cable Group)
  • CNC machine-tending drawer system (Vention)
  • Cooper ADAPT welding cobot (Lincoln Electric)
  • Pick and Bag cobot cart (CMES Robotics)
  • Maverick depalletizing cell (AMT)

The systems are built on FANUC CRX collaborative robots (CRX-5iA, CRX-10iA, CRX-20iA/L, and CRX-30iA) and share mobile cart-based deployment, drag-and-drop programming, AI vision integration, standard power specifications, and integrated air systems.

Many manufacturers want to automate but are hesitant to take on complex, fixed systems. The Cobot and Go approach shows how collaborative out-of-the-box robot solutions can make automation more accessible, scalable and achievable on the shop floor., Simon Kenworthy, General Manager, Authorized System Integrator Sales, FANUC America

Case picking automation fails when nobody schedules the human

Case picking automation fails when nobody schedules the human

Vecna Robotics says conventional warehouse automation breaks at case picking because it schedules robots and not the people who lift the cases. Its CaseFlow system orchestrates both, builds exception reporting into the worker app and uses zone-based dispatch to keep robots from converging in one aisle. Robotics 24/7 wrote in October 2026 that Vecna reported a two times throughput gain and up to 90% less worker travel at a GEODIS deployment.

  • 01Vecna reported a two times throughput gain and up to 90% less worker travel at a GEODIS deployment, Robotics 24/7 wrote in October 2026.
  • 02Vecna says on its site that CaseFlow reads demand from the WMS in real time, which is what turns a robot platform into a case picking workflow.
  • 03Prime Robotics says on its own site that goods-to-person lifts productivity up to six times; Vecna says on its site it delivers two times or more with no fixed infrastructure and deployment in four weeks or less.

A3's final mobile robot safety standard is written for the sites running the robots

A3's final mobile robot safety standard is written for the sites running the robots

ANSI/A3 R15.08-3-2026 is now available from A3. It completes the three-part R15.08 series for industrial mobile robot (IMR) safety. Part 3 is written for the sites that run the robots. It covers risk assessment, management of change, employee training and periodic reviews and inspections, so safety work continues in day-to-day operation after deployment.

  • 01The robot maker documents the environment a mobile robot was built for, and Part 3 makes the operating site responsible for managing changes to the environment the robot actually works in.
  • 02Part 1 was reaffirmed in 2026 with no technical changes, while Part 3 spells out what users must do to operate IMR applications safely.
  • 03Sites running fixed cells and mobile robots may use one safety program, because R15.08-3 was written alongside R15.06 Part 3.

Schneider's $22.6 billion PTC deal is a bet on design data for industrial AI

Schneider's $22.6 billion PTC deal is a bet on design data for industrial AI

Schneider Electric is buying PTC for $22.6 billion in cash. It is betting PTC’s design and engineering data can help deploy industrial AI for manufacturers. The deal is expected to close by the third quarter of 2027, subject to approvals from PTC shareholders and regulators.

  • 01Schneider calls the combined business open and interoperable across systems. Buyers should test that promise.
