The annual report published by the IFR (International Federation of Robotics) highlights the most important trends for robotics and automation in 2026.
Solid shaft and kit encoder for flexible design options
For more resistant and durable aluminium drives in harsh environments
Customizable magnetic encoders and rings for advanced industrial applications
Agricultural autonomy isn’t just about removing the driver; it’s about creating intelligent machines capable of locating themselves, interpreting their surroundings, and acting in real-time, even under challenging conditions.
Wear-free touch-sensitive modules with high response speed for harsh environments
The Essen-based company Greenflash, in collaboration with STABL Energy, has implemented an intelligent energy system for their joint customer, the duo Giga Coating and System Trailers in the Emsland region. The combination of photovoltaics and energy storage using recycled electric car batteries is controlled by the new AI-based software Greencore AI from Greenflash. This offers advantages to energy-intensive industrial enterprises such as Giga Coating and System Trailers that were hardly viable on this scale in the past.
Reliable switches for mission-critical operations in harsh environments
At the press conference for the international trade press at SPS in Nuremberg, Ulrich Leidecker announced changes to company policy to ensure continued innovation and competitiveness in the market.
The SPS in Nuremberg from 25 to 27 November 2025 once again demonstrated its appeal to the international automation community with 1,175 exhibitors presenting their solutions for smart and digital automation in 15 exhibition halls.

With just a week to go, the SPS – Smart Production Solutions is set to showcase the industry's innovative strength, with around 1,170 exhibitors ready to present their products and services.
At the Bürkert Trade Press Days we spoke with Georg Stawowy, CEO of Bürkert Fluid Control Systems about the concept of a regenerative economy.
Competitive intralogistics requires extensive automation
NORD DRIVESYSTEMS accomplished the comprehensive relaunch of the central myNORD customer portal. The digital self-service solution focuses on an efficient and transparent procurement process.
Precisely tailored to the requirements of automated industrial processes
Detection of volume, dimensions and position with one picture
The modern production facility in Stäfa, featuring highly classified cleanrooms for the semiconductor industry, will be built over the next two and a half years and accompanied by the acquisition of land for an additional office building.
Beyond the data-driven efficiencies of Industry 4.0, a new paradigm is emerging for manufacturers across every industry: Industry 5.0. This next evolution emphasizes a human-centric, resilient, and sustainable approach, calling for a more symbiotic relationship between human workers and intelligent machines.
When it comes to the world of motion control, it’s easy to take your feedback device for granted. After all, it’s a small part of the system and is typically tucked inside the motor housing, out of sight and out of mind. However, the impact this seemingly minor component has on a system’s accuracy, performance, reliability, and ease of integration is hard to overstate.
IEN Europe interviewed Marco Calabrese, the Managing Director of Lika Electronic, about customization and trends in encoder development.
PLC Control Meets IIoT Cloud
The AX-1 robot from Norwegian start-up Kilter applies herbicides to weeds with such precision that the use of chemicals is reduced by up to 95% thanks to AI and sensor technology. To ensure that the autonomous helper is also gentle on the soil, the developers rely on lightweight and lubricationfree linear technology from the igus drylin series.
