Day 2 at Automation Xperience in the Netherlands.
As expected, and almost required at an automation exhibition, there were plenty of cobots, AMRs, and even humanoids on display.
The humanoid part was interesting, but also a bit disappointing. There were quite a few of them, yet most were remote-controlled puppets: impressive dance moves, fight moves, and show effects, but not yet the autonomous, useful co-workers many people imagine when they hear “humanoid robot.”
So there is clearly still some way to go.
From our side, we showed automation examples where location data becomes a real-time layer for smarter operations, connecting operators, forklifts, AMRs, and robots in one workflow.
Examples included:
- tracking forklifts and operators in real time
- Scanless ERP transactions using geofencing
- improving safety around moving equipment
- supporting forklift and AGV/AMR coordination with accurate location data
- Location-based signals to tower LEDS, PLC's, and more
For Pozyx, this is where automation becomes really valuable: not only in the robot itself, but in how people, machines, and systems working together.
Great to see the energy around automation here in the Netherlands, and exciting to show how location intelligence can help make it practical.
