Robotiq introduced IQ, an AI-enabled platform designed to make robotic Workcell integration faster, more predictable, and easier to scale.
IQ captures unstructured automation project data, coordinates engineering workflows, and helps partners generate validated Workcell designs based on real customer inputs and historical deployment data from thousands of previous factory installations.
“Automation does not scale when integration remains manual,” says Samuel Bouchard, CEO of Robotiq. “With IQ, we are moving from manually engineering robotic systems one project at a time to automatically generating Workcells from real customer inputs, Robotiq components, AI, and proven know-how from thousands of past projects. For manufacturers, this means a clearer path to automation: fewer surprises, faster decisions, more predictable performance, and better financial justification, including in many 1-shift operations.”
Key takeaways:
· Robotic Workcell integration depends on thousands of small details. Customer requirements, production constraints, factory floor layouts, site measurements, throughput targets, product variants, and local installation realities all affect whether a project succeeds. When that data is incomplete, fragmented or siloed, engineering teams experience project delays during the discovery and design revision phases.
· IQ turns scattered project information into actionable insights and a coordinated digital project workflow.
· With IQ, system integrators and manufacturing partners leverage automated data capture, AI-enabled project coordination, and simulation and design validation.
· IQ is available for robotic palletizing applications.
