The annual report published by the IFR (International Federation of Robotics) highlights the most important trends for robotics and automation in 2026.
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.
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.
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.
Powerful AI tools bring artificial intelligence directly to the line – robust, flexible, and fast
The fair set new records in multiple indicators including overseas buyers attendance and innovative, smart and green products.

The first phase of the autumn session of the Canton Fair has started, showcasing innovations until 19 October.
The world's largest business event in terms of scale, with over 30,000 exhibiting companies spread across 1.55 million square meters will take place in Guangzhou, China.
Canton Fair is a key symbol of China's opening-up and a core platform for international trade cooperation, honored as "China's Top Expo". It will open in Guangzhou on October 15, 2025, with a total exhibition area of about 1.55 million square meters.
A space-saving, robust solution with fibre-optic sensors detects seal failures, preventing greater transmission damage and enabling reliable controlled shutdowns.
This paper includes a summary review of three phase power systems, the characteristics of common three phase heating loads, and a comprehensive discussion of three phase SSRs and their application relative to such loads.
Flexible industrial robots with PC-based control platform
Digitalization is opening up new possibilities in robotics and mechanical engineering. Networked ecosystems, intelligent components and smart services are the key to unlocking huge potential in terms of productivity, efficiency, process reliability, maintenance and availability. Gearboxes play a special role in this. Nabtesco, the world's largest manufacturer of precision gearboxes, knows the challenges and offers unique solutions for the digital transformation of industry.
Körber is expanding its portfolio with AI-based pick-and-place technology from Sereact. The partnership focuses on integrating robotic solutions for single item picking into automated production and distribution solutions. An initial joint project with a German mechanical engineering company is already in progress.
After years of use, many traction batteries still have a residual capacity of between 70 and 80 percent. While this may be too little for further use in vehicles, some cells could still serve well in large storage systems for households, businesses, or utility providers. Shredding used modules or entire high-voltage storage systems would thus waste valuable resources.

Safeguarding danger zones at machines, AGVs and robots
Leuze SmartID-Edge controls a network of identification systems and sensors for track-and-trace requirements in production and the supply chain. Secure communication between 1D scanners or 2D camera systems takes place at edge level using OPC UA and full integration of the AutoID Companion Specification. The advantage: Each object to be identified is not only represented by its code but also mapped on a virtual tag in the edge system.
For fast detection of smaller air leaks
On 22 May, IEN Europe editor Kay Petermann was invited to attend the press conference and official opening of the new JUMO plant in Fulda, Germany.
