BOSTON, MA, May 2, 2025 – Flexxbotics will showcase its next-generation robotic automation solutions at Automate 2025, taking place on May 12–15 in Detroit, MI, featuring advanced machine tending with autonomous process control for smart factory optimization.
Flexxbotics offers a solution that automates robotic production for smart factory settings. Flexxbotics FlexxCORE technology connects and coordinates robots with existing automation equipment, IT systems, and people. Flexxbotics allows robots to operate multiple machines and handle multiple part SKUs for longer periods without supervision in ‘lights out’ manufacturing.
At the event, Flexxbotics will demonstrate the manufacturing of an electro-mechanical product using a robotic machine tending workcell. The workcell features a Universal Robots UR30 collaborative robot with a SCHUNK pallet coupling. It controls multiple factory machines, including a Haas 5-Axis universal machining center, a Hexagon Tigo Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM), and a MiJet cleaning station. The Flexxbotics solution connects the robot to each piece of equipment and coordinates the multi-operation tasks.
“We believe that deploying production robotics at scale is the only way to achieve truly autonomous manufacturing in the smart factory,” said Tyler Bouchard, CEO & co-founder of Flexxbotics. “We will be showcasing our breakthrough FlexxCORE technology for multi-machine robotic interoperability together with UR and our other market leading hardware partners in real-world deployment scenarios at the event.”
