				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://www.roboticsupdate.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/260508_Trio.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-10710" src="https://www.roboticsupdate.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/260508_Trio-300x225.jpg" alt="260508_Trio" width="300" height="225" /></a><a title="Trio Motion Technology" href="https://www.triomotion.com/" target="_blank">Trio Motion Technology</a> is presenting Motion-PLC at SPS Italia, the new controller that provides advanced motion control with the functionality and simplicity of a PLC.</p>
<p>On Stand 5-N054 at Fiere di Parma, 26-28 May, Trio will also present its complete Motion-First Automation solution, including the PC-MCAT-2 combined PC and motion controller, high-performance EtherCAT servo drives and motors, I/O systems, HMI and SCARA robots.</p>
<p>Trio’s new Motion-PLC controller has been designed to reduce the complexity and cost of machine build for stand-alone machines in applications such as gantries, packaging, and glue laying. The controller combines EtherCAT motion control for up to eight axes alongside machine logic thanks to a multi-tasking operating system that performs both tasks in parallel.</p>
<p>With flexible I/O expansion for 16 I/O slices &#8211; plus additional I/O with Trio’s I/O coupler &#8211; Motion-PLC achieves extensive device integration with an EtherCAT port and up to two Ethernet ports. The controller also offers protocol support for Modbus TCP, PROFINET IO, and Ethernet/IP.</p>
<p>Application development and device integration is managed through Trio’s license-free MotionPerfect software, and motion programming is achieved with common IEC languages.</p>
<p>The new controller is the latest development from Trio’s Motion-First Automation design approach that focusses on optimising a machine’s motion cycle within a complete automation solution. Central to Trio’s Motion-First Automation approach is the Motion-iX ‘motion engine’, based on more than 30 years’ development, that includes pre-programmed motion features ranging from simple point-to-point moves through to complex kinematics and robot control.</p>
<p>At SPS Italia, Trio will also present PC-MCAT-2, a control solution that integrates Windows applications alongside advanced motion performance. The controller runs Microsoft Windows 10 with a choice of Intel processors, and achieves high-speed EtherCAT motion coordination for up to 64 servo and robot axes.</p>
<p>In addition to Trio’s range of all-in-one controllers with integrated I/O, the automation brand will also display its Flex-6X and Flex-7 flexible machine controllers. These pocket-sized devices give freedom over functionality with a wide range of ‘click-in’ I/O slices, alongside high-performance motion control over EtherCAT for up to 80 axes.</p>
<p>As part of the complete Motion-First Automation solution, Trio will also display its range of servo drives and motors. The servo drives feature EtherCAT update rates as fast as 125µs, plus integrated safety features, but to simplify machine design and reduce cost-per-axis, intelligence remains within the controller. The drives are matched with low inertia servo motors to create a plug-and-play servo solution for rapid commissioning and reliable operation by machine users.</p>
<p>Trio’s Motion-First Automation solution on display at SPS Italia will also include I/O systems, a range of HMI displays, plus a SCARA robot application demo. Trio’s SCARA solution enhances performance, reliability, and speed of development, as just a single controller is required to manage a machine, robots, and servo motion axes.</p>
<p>“We’re excited to launch Motion-PLC at SPS Italia 2026 and show machine builders how the new controller can make development faster and simpler, while retaining Trio’s motion control performance, from a typical PLC environment,” says Trio Italy Manager, Mauro Lavatelli. “Presenting Trio’s complete Motion-First Automation solution, we will show machine builders how we can support their full automation requirements while optimising the motion performance of their machines.”</p>
<p>Tom Alexander, Trio Motion Technology’s President, says: “The Italy market is crucial to Trio as Italy is home to many of the world’s leading machine building OEMs, particularly in our core markets such as packaging and printing. Trio is at SPS Italia to show OEMs how we can support their ambitions with our Motion-First Automation solutions.”</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://www.roboticsupdate.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/260428_lenze_2.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-10692" src="https://www.roboticsupdate.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/260428_lenze_2-300x200.jpg" alt="260428_lenze_2" width="300" height="200" /></a>At Interpack 2026, <a title="Lenze" href="https://www.lenze.com" target="_blank">Lenze</a> will demonstrate how increasing complexity in packaging machinery can be mastered with well-engineered drive solutions, intelligent electrification, and engineering tools that place speed and simplicity at the forefront.</p>
<p>The demand for ever more powerful machines and increasing regulatory requirements, such as the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), are fundamentally changing the rules in the packaging industry. OEMs are under growing pressure to design packaging that is as small, material-efficient, and sustainable as possible &#8211; while maximising space utilisation and flexibility.</p>
<p>What appears to be purely a packaging issue has far-reaching implications for mechanical engineering: such profound changes in packaging require new machine designs. This presents an opportunity to make machines even more compact, flexible, and energy-efficient while ensuring the highest level of precision.</p>
<h4>High-performance packaging machines</h4>
<p>As a specialist in drive and automation technology, Lenze offers application-specific motion control solutions for the packaging machines of tomorrow. At Interpack 2026, Lenze will show how the combination of in-depth application expertise and powerful servo and drive technology enables precise, energy-efficient, and cost-effective solutions for every machine architecture &#8211; from sensorless control to drive solutions for the highest cycle rates.</p>
<p>Open interfaces, integrated safety, and end-to-end engineering also shorten development times, increase system availability, and ensure the flexibility that modern packaging machines demand.</p>
<h4>Cost and energy efficiency</h4>
<p>With its IE5/IE6 drive system, Lenze offers a decentralised solution with servo-like performance. In combination with the Lenze i650 motec frequency inverter, the Motor Drive System achieves IE5/IE6 energy efficiency classes and supports machine optimisation through sensorless positioning and integrated regenerative capability &#8211; helping OEMs process sustainable packaging materials more effectively.</p>
<p>Visitors will also experience how machine architecture can be adapted flexibly and how high dynamics, precise motion, and reduced hardware effort can be optimally combined for modern packaging machines with demanding motion profiles.</p>
<h4>Inline robotics without cycle interruptions</h4>
<p>Another highlight at the booth is a delta robot demonstrating highly precise pick-and-place processes on two rotating tables &#8211; without having to stop them. Through rotary tracking, products are picked up and placed synchronously, eliminating unnecessary cycle times and maximising efficiency.</p>
<p>This is made possible by Lenze’s “Feasible Application Software Toolbox.” Known as “Lenze FAST,” this modular software toolkit enables machines to be implemented faster, in a more structured way, and with significantly less programming effort. The Lenze FAST Robotics Template used in the delta robot significantly reduces engineering effort by parameterising robotics instead of programming them. Users benefit from short cycle times, increased line performance, and a scalable system solution that ensures the highest level of process reliability.</p>
<h4>Easily realise modular packaging machines</h4>
<p>A real eye-catcher at the booth is the Lenze Jonglator: The high-performance motion control system demonstrates how powerful servo inverters handle complex motion requirements while remaining more compact than purely mechanical motion solutions. Thanks to Lenze’s open architecture, modular machines can be planned and implemented much more easily.</p>
<p>Consistent functions and interfaces across controllers, HMIs, and I/Os enable seamless integration. This means motion, logic, and HMI functions are executed reliably and in parallel, even at high cycle rates and with increasing machine complexity.</p>
<h4>Mpac tray former live at the booth</h4>
<p>Under the motto “Motion enabled by Lenze,” Lenze demonstrates on a machine from customer Mpac how machine solution expertise creates real added value: the high-performance tray former processes up to 200 trays per minute and is therefore ideally designed for demanding production environments.</p>
<p>A rotary infeed concept replaces conventional pusher systems and ensures stable, continuous operation at high speeds. Reliable synchronisation and Lenze’s dynamic drive technology ensure this performance over the long term. As a result, Mpac’s tray erector is an ideal example of sophisticated packaging solutions and demonstrates how the complete Lenze portfolio delivers high speeds, precision, and consistent drive performance in demanding packaging processes.</p>
<p>Another advantage of the system is that it replaces conventional plastic trays with environmentally friendly cardboard containers. This supports the industry’s transition toward more sustainable, plastic-free packaging solutions.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://www.roboticsupdate.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/260225_Omron_2.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-10485" src="https://www.roboticsupdate.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/260225_Omron_2-300x200.jpg" alt="260225_Omron_2" width="300" height="200" /></a>If control was the language of the 20th century, coexistence will define the 21st. The next wave of industrial progress will be built on a more sustainable, human and resilient way of creating value &#8211; and Europe has the potential to lead this progress globally, as Fernando Colás, chief executive officer at OMRON Industrial Automation Europe, explains.</p>
<p>For more than 200 years, manufacturing has been built upon the single principle of control. It delivered scale, efficiency, and global supply chains, but it was designed for a predictable world.</p>
<p>Today, as Europe’s manufacturers face energy uncertainty, labour shortages, and mounting sustainability pressures, a new industrial model is emerging: one that replaces rigid control with flexible coexistence &#8211; providing a framework in which people, machines, and the planet work together, through autonomy and collaboration, towards a shared purpose.</p>
<h4><strong>The limits of control</strong></h4>
<p>Since the Industrial Revolution, manufacturers have been working on gaining ever greater control &#8211; over their machines, processes, resources, and manpower.</p>
<p>The introduction of the steam engine in the late 1700s allowed factories to run machinery at a predictable, steady speed for the first time, for example, while the moving assembly line established control over the flow and pace of production. Control has powered mass production and enabled global supply chains, but it is reaching its limits.</p>
<p>To control a parameter, we first need to predict it. Yet, as Ikuo Tateishi, president of the Human Renaissance Institute and grandson of OMRON’s founder, Kazuma Tateishi, highlighted at Osaka Expo 2025, today’s world is anything but predictable.</p>
<h4>Towards coexistence</h4>
<p>As a society, we face climate volatility, energy insecurity, demographic contraction, and geopolitical fragmentation. In Europe, energy costs are high, labour is scarce, and global is competition is intense.</p>
<p>In this landscape, success will depend not on harnessing control to accelerate scale or speed, but on our ability to combine technology, human values, and collaboration into a more resilient model of progress. The key is replacing the pursuit of control with adaptive, co-created networks that connect people, machines and the planet.</p>
<p>More than 50 years ago, Kazuma Tateishi predicted that society would evolve from a focus on efficiency and optimisation, to autonomous systems that can self-organise and learn. He foresaw a so-called ‘natural society’ where humans, technology and nature coexist in balance.</p>
<p>We now see his theory unfolding in factories around the world. Machines that sense, decide and adapt in real time, production systems that respond dynamically to variation, and factories that share operational data to improve energy and material efficiency have all become realities.</p>
<p>This machine autonomy is not about removing people, but amplifying their intent. Moving from control to coexistence means enabling technology that listens, collaborates, and creates space for human creativity and purpose.</p>
<h4>Six shifts toward a coexistence economy</h4>
<p>Moving from control to coexistence requires a fundamental rethink of how manufacturing is designed and run. The path ahead is not a single innovation, but a connected transformation across technology, culture and collaboration.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.roboticsupdate.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/260225_Omron_1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-10486" src="https://www.roboticsupdate.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/260225_Omron_1-300x225.jpg" alt="260225_Omron_1" width="300" height="225" /></a>Europe’s manufacturing future depends on six key shifts. The first is from isolated efficiency to systemic resilience &#8211; moving beyond pure productivity to systems that can adapt, predict disruption, and remain stable in volatile conditions. Manufacturers also need to move from competition to co-creation, collaborating across industries, governments and research to solve shared challenges and accelerate innovation for the greater good.</p>
<p>In addition, we must move from linear production to circular design, replacing take-make-dispose models with systems that reduce waste, recover materials and regenerate energy. At the same time, we must also shift from central control to distributed intelligence, enabling autonomous, connected systems that learn locally but improve globally, thereby increasing agility and resilience across the system.</p>
<p>As automation advances, the focus must expand from efficiency to transparency, building trust through explainable, ethical, and accountable systems that people can understand and oversee. Finally, predictability must give way to adaptability, with flexible organisations and technologies that can respond quickly to change without sacrificing stability.</p>
<p>Together, these six key shifts define a manufacturing model where people, technology, and the environment coexist to create sustainable, resilient value.</p>
<h4>A realistic path forward</h4>
<p>Every industrial revolution has been an upgrade of our collective operating system, and the upcoming step change is no exception. Yet moving from control to coexistence will not be easy.</p>
<p>While success will rely on industry, technology and society evolving together, the political and economic climate in many regions already favours protectionism over collaboration. Together, we must highlight our shared purpose and build an understanding of the mutual benefits of coexistence.</p>
<p>There are also legitimate concerns around job displacement, data security and ethical AI, all of which must be addressed sympathetically and with transparency. We need to share the message that coexistence is not about replacing people with machines, but reconnecting technology to purpose.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://www.roboticsupdate.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/260225_Festo.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-10482" src="https://www.roboticsupdate.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/260225_Festo-300x225.jpg" alt="260225_Festo" width="300" height="225" /></a>Festo has expanded its <a title="Festo VTUX valve terminal platform" href="https://www.festo.com/vtux" target="_blank">VTUX valve terminal platform</a> with a series of new functions and connectivity options that give machine builders greater design freedom, improved energy efficiency, and enhanced digital capability.</p>
<p>Building on the highly cost-effective VTUX base system, the latest additions include advanced communication via Festo AP, new smart vacuum and I/O options, and new energy-saving valve functions. Together, these enhancements enable the creation of more compact, responsive and future-ready machines &#8211; reducing compressed air consumption, simplifying architectures, and lowering system costs.</p>
<p>The VTUX was initially launched with basic capabilities to meet the broad needs of most volume users of pneumatic solenoid valve manifolds. Since its introduction, there has been a continuous roll-out of new features, making things even easier for users. The basic VTUX valve terminal is carefully cost-optimised through design and manufacture, delivering high flow rates and virtually unlimited modularity.</p>
<p>The valve modules can be arranged freely and are compact and lightweight, saving time, space, and weight in the machine. The ability to ‘split’ manifolds cost-effectively without having to pay for additional fieldbus nodes means designers can arrange their layouts for ease of assembly and simpler maintenance. Crucially, the VTUX minimises piping run lengths, which can improve response times and cycle rates at the same time as reducing wasted ‘dead air’ volumes.</p>
<h4>Open communication with Festo AP</h4>
<p>However, the greatest benefits result from Festo considering not only how to mount and connect pneumatic solenoid valves across a machine but also the surrounding architecture. VTUX now uses Festo AP (Automation Protocol) to optimise digital communication. This brings flexibility, enables open architectures, and allows seamless integration of electrical and pneumatic automation.</p>
<p>With AP, VTUX becomes part of a digitised automation platform, enabling sensor integration, advanced diagnostics and predictive maintenance through data exchange with the cloud in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Festo’s CPX-AP-I remote I/O system with IP65/67 protection enables real-time communication via Ethernet-based fieldbus. Seamless connectivity also supports all other technologies, such as IO-Link or direct fieldbus integration. A recent addition is the CTED multi-protocol node, which enables compact, flexible and cost-effective connections directly to all common Industrial Ethernet (fieldbus) hosts.</p>
<p>Whether the system is central, decentralised, or hybrid, VTUX with Festo AP offers scalable configurations, integrated safety functions, and flexibility for the customer’s machine concept. Consequently, machines communicate more efficiently, grow flexibly, and meet the highest safety standards &#8211; from compact single applications to complex networks.</p>
<h4>Better end-of-arm performance</h4>
<p>The lightweight design of the VTUX means it can be deployed on the front-end unit, a portal, or a robot arm, enabling short and efficient compressed air lines. Innovative new features include optional individual input modules for ultimate flexibility and logical commissioning and diagnostics.</p>
<p>The ability to specify one, several or all slices with a smart vacuum generator further enhances reach and flexibility. This option is particularly attractive in end-of-arm applications where reduced piping and cabling make assembly faster. Fewer snag and wear points, combined with the reduced footprint and moving mass, create significant performance enhancements.</p>
<h4>More sustainable operation</h4>
<p>Performance and sustainability combine in the new Smart Switch Lite. With this option, a 5/4-way valve on the VTUX valve terminal enables the supply air to be switched off during cylinder movements. This saves energy and optimises the cycle time simultaneously. Despite the supply air being switched off, the cylinder reliably reaches its end position due to the residual expansion energy. In addition, the cylinder chambers can be individually exhausted and blocked, which enables precise control and greater flexibility. Reduced pressure in the end position ensures that the subsequent movement can take place with greater dynamics, enabling faster and more efficient processes.</p>
<p>Commenting on the ongoing development of VTUX functionality, Festo’s GB Product Manager Jonny Mottram said: “VTUX technology is continuously evolving to meet the automation needs of our customers, and we have further exciting new VTUX features planned for 2026. I’d urge machine builders seeking to increase their machines’ performance while reducing costs to make use of the national network of Festo Applications Engineers. Their extensive try-out facilities can significantly reduce the time and risk of changes by thoroughly modelling and testing your solutions.”</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://www.roboticsupdate.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/251204_CJS_FM.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-10254" src="https://www.roboticsupdate.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/251204_CJS_FM-300x225.jpg" alt="251204_CJS_FM" width="300" height="225" /></a>Food and beverage plants increasingly operate with a blend of equipment generations: legacy machinery that has served reliably for years, and newer automation technologies designed to enhance efficiency, traceability and sustainability. This hybrid setup gives manufacturers flexibility to modernise gradually, but it also presents a growing challenge: how to maintain ageing assets while integrating more advanced systems without disrupting production. The experts at <a title="CJS Automation" href="https://www.cjsautomation.com/" target="_blank">CJS Automation</a> explain.</p>
<p>Legacy systems remain deeply embedded across the food and beverage sector, often performing critical tasks with consistency. Yet these systems frequently rely on components that OEMs have discontinued, sometimes without direct replacements.</p>
<p>When a discontinued PLC module, drive, or HMI fails, it can stop an entire filling, packing, or processing line. With perishable goods and tight delivery contracts, such downtime can quickly escalate into product loss, missed orders and high operational costs.</p>
<p>At the same time, investment in modern automation is accelerating. Plants are deploying advanced robotics, quality inspection technology and connected controls. The result is a complex mix of brands, communication protocols and hardware generations, all of which engineering teams must support. This “hybrid automation environment” has made dependable access to both new and obsolete components increasingly important.</p>
<p>Specialist suppliers, such as CJS Automation, play a key role in keeping these blended production environments running smoothly. CJS focuses on sourcing both current-line and hard-to-find legacy automation parts, while also offering repair and refurbishment services to extend the life of older equipment. These capabilities can help food manufacturers avoid unnecessary system overhauls and maintain uptime even when OEM support has ended.</p>
<p>The ability to move quickly is often what determines whether a small failure becomes a major operational incident. “Food and beverage production can’t afford extended downtime; it’s as simple as that,” says Johnathan Craddock, Director at CJS Automation. “Many plants rely on equipment that’s been in service for over a decade, sometimes longer. When an obsolete part fails, finding a replacement isn’t just about convenience; it can be the difference between meeting a customer order or losing an entire batch. Our job is to bridge that gap by giving manufacturers fast access to both legacy and modern components, backed by repair options that keep equipment running beyond the original design life.”</p>
<h4>Supporting sustainability through refurbishment</h4>
<p>Beyond uptime, refurbishment and repair support broader sustainability goals. Extending the life of automation components reduces waste and lowers the environmental impact associated with manufacturing new hardware. For manufacturers working toward circular-economy or net-zero commitments, maintaining equipment rather than replacing it offers clear environmental benefits alongside cost savings.</p>
<p>As the industry continues to evolve, many producers are choosing phased modernisation rather than complete system replacement. Supporting both old and new technologies side by side will remain essential, and suppliers like CJS Automation, who understand the nuances of legacy equipment while also keeping pace with newer automation platforms, help ensure manufacturers can modernise sustainably, without compromising productivity or food safety.</p>
