A high-caliber panel of robotics experts has announced the nominees for the coveted ROBOTICS AWARD 2026. The award honors companies driving groundbreaking advances in industrial development with their innovative robot assisted solutions in the fields of automation and logistics. Three companies particularly impressed the jury and made it onto the shortlist.
Confocal stainless-steel sensor for temperatures up to 200 °C and use in vacuum
Früchte Jork GmbH from Baden-Württemberg, Germany – a family-run fresh food wholesaler – has reached an important milestone: Its new, fully automated deep-freeze warehouse is in operation. What may look like ‘just’ another high-bay warehouse to outsiders is a quantum leap for the company: faster order picking, optimized processes and significantly improved working conditions for employees. The project was implemented by the intralogistics experts at Klinkhammer Intralogistics GmbH.
Enhancing localised services with more proximity to customers
The annual report published by the IFR (International Federation of Robotics) highlights the most important trends for robotics and automation in 2026.
Intrinsically safe copper-based Ethernet to ATEX Zone 1
Electronics exposed to radiation can be prone to failure. Satellites and medical devices such as CT scanners are especially sensitive. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS in Dresden are working on an open-source tool that can be used to better prevent radiation-related loss of function.

Power supply and Gigabit Ethernet via a single cable for simplified integration of single-board cameras
Fanless design for reliable and scalable Edge AI
At the first Linde Automation Summit, which took place in Aschaffenburg, on 12 and 13 November, the company and its partners shared insights on the transformation of the intralogistics sector with pan-European customers, consultants, & trade press
At the Bürkert Trade Press Days we spoke with Georg Stawowy, CEO of Bürkert Fluid Control Systems about the concept of a regenerative economy.
Precisely tailored to the requirements of automated industrial processes
Detection of volume, dimensions and position with one picture
Siemens launches a one-stop security platform for managing communication connections in OT networks. With virtualized network structures it protects shop floor devices from targeted attacks and unauthorized access.
PLC Control Meets IIoT Cloud
With design engineers across the globe constantly innovating to meet growing demand for solutions that support an increasingly digitalised environment, expediting product/ solution development times is imperative for business success at both OEMs and system integrators. Increasing numbers are turning to solutions pre-certified for cybersecurity to save time and provide confidence in robust levels of protection against online threats.
Through a unique partnership GN is launching a new production test & measurement platform that delivers increased efficiency, flexibility and a reduced environmental impact.

Bosch Rexroth and Advantech combine modular industrial PCs and a secure, open operating system to create a turnkey edge platform
For reliable transmission in rotating systems
In order to save costs and time, more and more industrial companies are focussing on the possibility of monitoring and controlling devices and systems remotely. Web and cloud-based services are ideal for this: an internet connection makes it possible to control and operate industrial systems as if you were on site and long journeys by service personnel are no longer necessary.
Flexible, modular workpiece transport can bring valuable extra speed to automated assembly with free pallets. Scalability is also enhanced, while built-in tracking provides traceability data to meet the requirements of demanding industries such as automotive.
