Successful appearance at Automate 2026 in Chicago

With numerous interesting discussions, innovative exhibits and an outstanding response to our solutions, Automate 2026 in Chicago was a complete success for RNA and our partner American Feeding Systems (AFS). North America’s largest trade fair for robotics and industrial automation provided the ideal platform for presenting our expertise in feeding systems technology and our digital solutions to an international trade audience.

Three exhibits in particular took centre stage, impressively demonstrating the capabilities of modern feeding systems technology. These included a FlexType S system base with linear sorting, designed entirely digitally and therefore reproducible at any time. We also presented a vibratory bowl feeder from American Feeding Systems that had been digitalised with the support of RNA Digital Solutions. The exhibition was completed by a milled bowl feeder for nozzles manufactured by our subsidiary FSA Amberg, whose design and function had already been optimised in advance using simulation.

Another highlight was the presentation of our digital expertise in simulation and digital twins. Using practical applications, visitors experienced how digital tools shorten development times, optimise processes and significantly increase planning reliability in projects.

The high level of interest in our stand impressively confirmed the relevance of these topics. During the trade fair, we made more than 200 new contacts. The numerous discussions with customers, partners and potential new customers once again demonstrated that efficient feeding system technology and digital engineering solutions are playing an increasingly important role in modern automation projects.

Our sincere thanks go to all customers, partners and trade fair visitors who took the time to visit our stand and discuss current challenges and future projects with us. Automate 2026 was a complete success for us, and we look forward to developing the contacts we made and working together to turn new ideas into reality. We are looking forward to Automate next year!
